Black Milk of Dawn

Black Milk of Dawn is Stale Urine's fourth ``studio'' album, a half-hour of the best recordings from June, 1994 to June, 1995. It is less polished than Nutrition in Disguise, but a more satisfying expression of the Stale Urine aesthetic, according to many.

Styles range from the ``Negativland-inspired sound collage'' (according to Burping Lula) of There Is No Oil In Bosnia, to the roots-rock of You'll Be Alone When I Throw You In Jail and Bleed, to the painful noise symphony of Bhopal: Prelude and Fugue.

Black Milk of Dawn has proved the most popular SU offering since Egon Is Watching You. It also marked the debut of bassist Heidi Hofer as an ``official'' member of the band.

Black milk of dawn we drink it at dusk
we drink it at noon and at daybreak we drink it at night
we drink and drink
