In this edition of Freak Scene, a still-China-living Jamie Johns presents a guest column by Caleb Braaten, owner/curator/impresario of the epic Sacred Bones Records, purveyors of music by Zola Jesus, Dead Luke, Nice Face, Timmy’s Organism and many other Freak Scene favorites. Read his thoughts on some choice releases by Dead Clodettes, Stupid Party and Animal and Men. Also, let it be known that if you have yet to pick up the new Zola Jesus LP The Spoils and the Cultural Decay and 13th Chime reissues, you should do so post haste.
