Editorial Reviews

After working together in notorious garage outfit Thee Headcoates, 1999's In Blood sees Billy Childish and Holly Golightly making their first outing as a duo. Each of the twelve tracks is constituted from only the most primal blues-soaked building blocks. While simplicity, repetition, and sheer rock `n' roll minimalism are at the heart of the album, In Blood never ceases to hold interest. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars HYPNOTIC!, February 14, 2000

This review is from: In Blood (Audio CD)

This album proclaims ONE CHORD, ONE SONG, ONE SOUND, and although this would appear to be true, there is so much else going on. The linear notes say it best, that through it's simplicity, it creates a deep complexity.

This is both Billy and Holly at their best - shared vocals which overlap and completely compliment the other.

Since buying this album it's become a favorite nighttime record due to it's hypnotic, laidback nature. My favorite Childish collaboration yet!

3.0 out of 5 stars Where are the Armitage Shanks references?, November 24, 2003

Was this the CD that members of UK Punk legends Armitage Shanks helped out on? I know they did other stuff, but not sure if this is one of the CDs they did with Billy. Check out their CD 25 Golden Showers for listening pleasure.
