Thin White Rope - Not Your Fault
Copping their name from ***[William S. Burroughs](https://cutt.ly/knKjvcv)*** euphemism for ejaculation, ***"Thin White Rope"*** was founded in Davis, California in 1984. Although the time and place of their formation aligned them with both the Paisley Underground and roots rock movements, the group quickly staked out its own musical territory, divining their own unique brand of dark, surreal, desert rock.
***"Thin White Rope"*** was led by singer/guitarist ***[Guy Kyser](https://cutt.ly/UnHksbT)***, whose harsh, tightly coiled vocals and unsettling lyrics combined to give the band its edge; in the group's first incarnation, Kyser was joined by guitarist ***[Roger Kunkel](https://cutt.ly/ynHkhgk)***, bassist ***Kevin Staydohar*** (soon replaced by ***Steven Tesluk***), and drummer ***Jozef Becker***.

***"Thin White Rope's"*** second album, ***"Moonhead"***, is the edge-of-chaos masterpiece of the paisley underground, an album that sounds like ***"[Neil Young & Crazy Horse](https://cutt.ly/jnL9DOA)"*** tackling ***"[Joy Division's](https://cutt.ly/tnL9JPQ)"***, ***"Unknown Pleasures"***.
All of the 14 songs, even a pounding cover of ***Jimmy Reed's*** blues classic ***"[Ain't That Lovin' You Baby](https://cutt.ly/4muz7hu)"***, are so wound up and tense that they sound like they could explode at any point; the fact that they don't, not even on extended guitar workouts like ***"[Crawl Piss Freeze](https://cutt.ly/4muxJjQ)"*** and the epic closer ***"[Take It Home](https://cutt.ly/Tmuz3TH)"***, gives the album an at times almost unbearable tension.

The songs all start from basically the same point - dual-guitar leads over ***Jozef Becker's*** almost Krautrock-like steady pulses and ***Stephen Tesluk's*** throbbing, minimal bass lines - but ***Guy Kyser's*** lyrics and vocals range from tortured wails to mordant, deadpan humor, providing the album with just enough variation that it doesn't become deadening.

***”Not Your Fault”*** is the first song on ***”Thin White Rope”*** second album, ***"[Moonhead](https://cutt.ly/SmuraTl)"***, released under the ***"Zippo Records"*** in 1987.
