In 1993 the FBI inadvertently created an evacuation soundtrack during the 51 day standoff in Waco, Texas with David Koresh and the Branch Dividians. The FBI blasted these songs and noises in an attempt to torture and evacuate the inhabitants of the compound. This record is a selection of these songs, curated by Nick van Woert and recreated by the musicians listed below as they saw fit.
WACO was produced by Nick van Woert to accompany his exhibition, “Just Dropped In to See What Condition My Condition Was In” at Moran Bonderoff Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. This limited edition LP was engineered by Mike Kutchman and recorded to 2” tape at Kutch 1 Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Featuring artists as diverse as Ben Greenberg (Uniform, The Men) and Logan Takahashi (Teengirl Fantasy), WACO is a thrilling maniacal ride and sure to become a collector’s item. - Wharf Cat Records
