The ex tom cora scrabbling at the lock 1991 full album
Scrabbling at the Lock is the first of two albums by Dutch punk band The Ex in collaboration with avant-garde cellist Tom Cora. It is also the first of The Ex's studio albums to feature the work of then Dog Faced Hermans guitarist Andy Moor, who has remained in the band ever since. With the interplay of two guitars, bass, cello, and more prominent female vocals, Scrabbling at the Lock marked a turn toward melodic song structures that incorporated elements of free improvisation in The Ex's music. The album cover features the Montparnasse derailment that occurred in October 1895.
