Sunk in a maze of questionable deeds, Cairo Pythian promises to reserve your path to the darkest edge of a nefarious night. When the day breaks expect the guilt of indulgence and an uncanny urge for the eve to rear again. Part of a goth/coldwave scene out of the Pacific Northwest, artist Cairo Pythian makes a shocking debut with what the press materials allude to as “lucid assfucking.” C.P. hails from Olympia, WA, and there’s a bit of a Sex/Vid connection via Dave Harvey playing guitar and Capt. Trips producing these sessions, but the two bands are in no other way alike. Perhaps in mood, but certainly not in method – any of the four S&M/quickdeath-for-kicks anthems on this release wouldn’t have sounded out of place on either of the Wierd Records compilations (well, maybe the wah-wah lead guitar on “Magus” might have placed it out of the running), sequenced for maximum slink and in the Gary Numan fanclub 4 LYFE. 500 copies, disturbing cover art that you won’t want to look at, kinda looks like velvet-n-leather guy in your town caught in the act at the wing buffet. Allegedly released by an anonymous arts guild out of Oslo, Norway. The plot thickens. (http://nsjnl.com) (Doug Mosurock)
