BC35 - Volume Two / The 35 Year Anniversary Of BC Studio (DIGIPAK CD)

Featuring members of Sonic Youth, Swans, White Hills, JG Thirlwell, Cop Shoot Cop, Live Skull (reunited), Pop 1280, The Dresden Dolls, Alice Donut, Lubricated Goat, Sxip Shirey, Parlor Walls, and many more, BC35: Volume Two is a mind-expanding noise rock journey through the outer galaxies of sound. As Cvlt Nation puts it: “It will take your mind on an outergalactic Noise Rock trip to another fucking universe... What I love is that this record is punk as fuck without sounding like anything you have ever heard before.”

A continuation of BC35: The 35th Anniversary of BC Studio, this second volume captures the spirit and chaos of that celebratory weekend in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Curated by producer Martin Bisi, with ensembles assembled by Genevieve Fernworthy (where no group had already self-organized), the sessions emphasized production logistics and sonic potential over rehearsed polish. Some long-anticipated reunions also took place.

Recorded live in front of an audience of sonic explorers, social outliers, and loyal BC Studio followers, the resulting tracks were painstakingly mixed and edited by Bisi and studio veterans over several months. Together, Volumes One and Two form BC35, a raw, boundary-pushing testament to 35 years of experimental sound from one of New York's most legendary underground studios.
