Spot
Sounds Of Two Eyes Opening
Legendary hardcore producer and engineer SPOT (Misfits, Black Flag, HR, Minutemen etc.) is a master photographer.
Sinecure Books are bafflingly proud to be the first to introduce the world to SPOT's photographic narrative.
Edited by Johan Kugelberg and Ryan Richardson, Sounds of Two Eyes Opening is a narrative of Southern California
chiaroscuro: all the shots of punkers and bands and clubs are dark swatches of blacks and grays with brief illuminations
of white skin, bringing about a general claustrophobic cul-de-sac feeling. These images sit in contrast to the wide open
event horizon of Spots' beach photographs: beauty, youth and body worship, white teeth, big hair, the eternal triage of
sun/sand/sea and the promise of the unbroken horizon.
Spanning the late 1960s through the early 1980s, Sounds of Two Eyes Opening offers an amazing portrait of Southern
California coastal life: surfing, bikinis, roller skating and skate boarding's fledgling days are set in contrast to
iconic shots of all the core denizens of hardcore punk rock as it is being invented; candid shots of Black Flag, The
Germs, Minutemen etc. abut everyday punkers, fans, cops, clubs and now shuttered rehearsal spaces.
Sounds of Two Eyes Opening is presented as a hardbound, 272 page book, printed on matte art paper, with 4-color
black-and-white printing, a lay flat binding, and comes with a silkscreened 7" vinyl record.
