SUNK COST is Johnathan Cash taking a step away from the slapstick humor of BREAK DANCING RONALD REAGAN, and putting his masterful harsh noise skills in the forefront with no accompanying frills. This is a 40 minute tape of pure harsh noise that recalls the best of the mid 2000s California pedal noise sound - sharp, cascading, pummeling, dynamic while remaining dense - not an approach we hear too often these days, and certainly not done this well.
