About
BÖC’s 1974 album recruited songwriting sophisticates like punk poet Patti Smith (for the statement of purpose “Career of Evil”) and gonzo rock critic Richard Meltzer (the probably Ramones-inspiring “Cagey Cretins”) to create a cabal of songs that really do sound like secret treaties. Spookily catchy riffs from another dimension propel lyrics about Nazi warplanes, space science, and eye harvesting; as things carry on, it only gets stranger. Some of it may be tongue-in-cheek—but unless you’re in the band, you’ll never know for sure.
