At Saint Thomas the Apostle Harlem

This is a vinyl LP pressing. Diamanda Galás, a Greek - American avant - garde composer and performer, fearlessly confronts violence and despair with political conviction. In the 1980s and 1990s, she gained fame with works like the Masque of the Red Death trilogy and Plague Mass, which addressed the AIDS crisis during a time of political inaction. 'At St. Thomas the Apostle Harlem' captures Galás' explosive May 2016 performance at the St. Thomas the Apostle church in Harlem, NY. The New York Times described it as a blend of guttural and operatic, baleful and inconsolable, spiritual and earthy, polyglot and wordless, nuanced and unhinged. Produced by Intravenal Sound Operations and Red Bull Music Academy, the concert features only what Galás calls 'death songs'.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Place the vinyl gently on the turntable, and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the groove. Sit back and let the unique sounds of Diamanda Galás' performance fill the room. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. After each use, store it in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep the record in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality over time.
