Mamo Waves [LP]

The Whitefronts began in 1982 as a quartet of art and theatre students at UCSB in Isla Vista, swelled to a sextet and moved to San Francisco's DIY scene in 1984. Their shows were open jams pulling from free jazz, The Velvet Underground, Caribbean music and improv noise. Mamo Waves gathers recordings made between 1982 and 1987, an album once lined up for Camper Van Beethoven's Pitch-A-Tent imprint that slipped through the cracks when CVB signed to Virgin.

Released at last on vinyl LP by Bulbous Monocle, limited to 300 copies.
