3/25/26.

Well, I somehow missed this when it came out even though I was thoroughly immersed in Vexx - so much so that I bought two copies of "Wild Hunt" on vinyl.

CCFX is a collaboration between Mary Jane Dunphe (Vexx, CC Dust) and Chris McDonnell (Trans FX). Both were established in the Olympia, Washington scene and had actually collaborated together in The Country Liners. But, as the name suggests, this is a true melding of the sounds of CC Dust and Trans FX - the punk sounds of Vexx and the twang of The Country Liners are not to be found on this EP. This EP was released in 2017 by DFA.

The first song I heard was "Venetian Screens" and I couldn't help but think of both Felt and Cleaners From Venus. But, mostly this is goth-pop in the vein of The Cure or Cocteau Twins.

A new divide Returning A wake-up from The old spring And I'm feeling very strange now, strange now And it’s feeling like a crack in the self, crack in the self And it’s getting very different now all the time And we’re gonna shout it out of blue, whole and new We saw our fates We’re burning Through space and time With knowledge sings And I'm feeling very strange now, strange now And it’s feeling like a crack in the self, crack in the self And it’s getting very different now all the time And we’re gonna shout it out of blue, whole and new Back to the old land Back to the old land Old land, Old land Old land Old land Old land Old land Old land
