CREP 050LP

South Californian dons of occult electronics, German Army return to Discrepant with their first solo vinyl LP outing for the label after an inaugural tape back in 2015 and a split collaboration with Old Komm in 2016 (CREP 033LP). Taking the events described in the 1982 book More Bitter Fruit, the CIA coup in Guatemala in 1954, the duo eloquently translates this textbook case of bullying relationship between the United States and the Third World. Using some US government documents and interviews with former CIA agents, they go deep in the Guatemala jungle through their trademark use of guitars and electronics drenched in echo and reverb of times past. Another mysterious entry from the shady San Bernadino duo, showing their interest and research in poorly documented history of the 21st century. Edition of 300.
"German Army could end up winning an Oscar for soundtracking a particularly dark war film or dying in the gutter when none of us are looking. Let's hope they keep delivering the heroin highs, and lows, we've come so accustomed to nodding off to." --Tiny Mix Tapes
