About

In the liminal spaces of art rock, David Keyes crafted a sculptural narrative, weaving eclectic instrumentation and theatrical performance into the fabric of his sound. His tape "The Yellow Christ" (1986) emerged under Utility Grade Record, a fractal exploration of narrative-driven lyrics, while "A Mari Usque Ad Mari" (1990) marked his self-released odyssey. Keyes, a figure of England's avant-garde scene, embraced the cassette as a vessel for his process-driven art, leaving behind a legacy that resonates with the obscure and the experimental.
