Long Players: Writers on Albums That Shaped Them # 45 Rachel Kushner - Gun Club - Mother Juno

 


'The first four Gun Club albums still remind me of adolesence, of the desire to break something and / or be destroyed, a destruction for a young person that transmits as hope, because it is energy. Of all the Gun Club records, Mother Juno, released in 1987, when I was eighteen, shocks me most, with its beauty and depth. I listen to it still. It's lush and dreamy, and it's also hard. It's rock and roll... the album has a grand and echoing, but raw, bare sound... Port of Souls. I don't know what to say about Port of Souls except it holds in it some secret that I've convinced myself has to do with me: a secret I possess, about me, and that is eternally kept from me...'
