No New York is the definitive document of the late-1970s New York no wave scene, curated and produced by Brian Eno. Originally released in 1978 on Antilles, this LP brought together four of the most vital and confrontational acts of the downtown avant-punk explosion: The Contortions, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Mars, and DNA. With abrasive guitars, fractured rhythms, and anti-song structures, these tracks embody the raw, jagged energy that defined the no wave movement.
This Lilith reissue faithfully reproduces the original album, offering a crucial snapshot of one of New York’s most radical underground moments. Essential for fans of post-punk, noise, and experimental rock.
