Thin White Rope (TWR) was an American rock band fronted by Guy Kyser and related to the desert rock and paisley underground sub-genres. It was formed in Davis, California in 1984, and released five albums to critical acclaim. The band was largely based on singer/songwriter/guitarist Guy Kyser and guitarist Roger Kunkel, with a changing line-up of drummers and bass guitarists. It was noted for its twin guitar attack, innovative use of feedback structures and oblique lyrics.

  • I Thin White Rope sono stati un gruppo rock formato a Davis, in California nel 1984. Il nucleo della band era composto dal cantante/chitarrista Guy Kyser e dal chitarrista Roger Kunkel, attorno ai quali sono ruotati diversi bassisti e batteristi. Il loro stile musicale, che mescolava il rock psichedelico con il country e il blues, riletti in ottica post punk, spinse i critici a coniare il termine post-psichedelia. I Thin White Rope erano inseriti a pieno titolo nella scena del Paisley Underground di Davis, insieme a band come Dream Syndicate e Green on Red. Il nome del gruppo fu ispirato da una metafora usata dallo scrittore William S. Burroughs per definire il liquido seminale maschile.
