Avant-pop classic from new wave San Fransisco duo IXNA. For fans of Brian Eno, The Flying Lizards, Talking Heads etc.

Knotpop is a lost album of deviant new wave San Fransisco duo IXNA. Like Brian Eno and The Flying Lizards, the album is a sideways and inverted take on pop music. Jay Cloidt and Marina La Palma were students of David Behrman and Robert Ashley at Mills College, inspired by their infamously irreverent faculty to nudge the avant-garde out of its stuffy tweed and into something more exciting, something clad in denim & leather. Recorded at the Center For Contemporary Music at Mills in 1981, the album combines Cloidt's studio wizardry, sampling abilities and vibrant bass with La Palma’s expressive vocals, and love of made-up and invented languages (Esperanto).


IXNA only released one 7" during that time, featuring two songs from this unrealised album, which became sought after over the decades. Mastered from the original reels.
