Of A Mesh – Of A Mesh [12''] (1986, Black Afternoon Records)

 

New York City's most famous dark rock band of the 1980s, Of a Mesh featured the dramatic crooning of singer Alan Dollgener duetting with Samara Lubelski's haunting violin atop a claustrophobic cobweb of sound. Formed in 1983 and disbanded in 1988, other members were Ellen Watkins (guitar, and played keyboard on one Glenn Branca piece), Gregory Kostroff (bass), Osamu (drums) and Michael Goglia (drums, member also of bands such as Ritual Tension and The Fuzztones). 

 

Samara Lubelski is a singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist (violinist, guitarist and bassist) improviser and engineer. She has been a member of numerous bands, besides of Of a Mesh, of The Salmon Skin, Pacer, The Sonora Pine, Hall of Fame, The Tower Recordings, Metal Mountains and Chelsea Light Moving. Lubelski is a prolific guest musician, performing (predominantly on violin and occasionally on bass) on dozens of recordings by artists such as The Fiery Furnaces, White Magic, Thurston Moore, God Is My Co-Pilot, Jackie-O Motherfucker, Sightings and MV & EE.
