After leaving New York No Wave band DNA, keyboardist Robin Crutchfield soldiered on and formed his own outfit Dark Day. For those who listen to DNA's early recordings on the No New York compilation and wonder what happened to the keyboards afterward, listen to the incredibly unappreciated genius of Dark Day's Exterminating Angel (1980). The music is definitely not as free form or minimalist as DNA but is equally as challenging, taking the chilling electronics of Suicide and Tuxedomoon more than free jazz or Captain Beefheart.
