Biography
Drone-heavy, fuzzed out debut LP Done, produced by Iain Burgess (Naked Raygun, Ministry, Big Black), was released in Germany in 1992 before the band gained a recording and distribution deal with US Independent label Matador Records in 1994, having been championed by Yo La Tengo. The self-produced six song EP Crayon followed in 1994.
In 1995, 18th Dye moved to Danish label Cloudland Records and recorded their second album, Tribute to a Bus, recorded by Steve Albini at Black Box Recording Studio in Noyant-La-Gravoyère, France.18TH DYE'S NOISY BUS' RIDE The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/06/09/18th-dyes-noisy-bus-ride/a2eadd0d-cc27-4366-849d-15e8a18d47cb/ 1 January 2018 Jenkins Mark 9 June 1995 More dynamic and diverse than previous recordings, its blend of noise and melody suggest influences such as Sonic Youth, The Wedding Present and Wire.
