Mud Memory Records mud01 El Guapo The Geography of Dissolution

This album is now available for download for the first time.

"The Geography of Dissolution" is the only document of the eight months El Guapo spent as a four-piece in 1999. Two live sets — one recorded by Davis White at the Black Cat in D.C., another recorded in New York at Tonic by Damon Caldwell — chart the group's transition from art-punk to the avant-garde. Damon died shortly before the record's release, and "Geography of Dissolution" is dedicated to his memory.
