Originally released in 1980, Queen of Siam remains a feverish collision of jazz, no wave, and cinematic decadence Lydia Lunch channeling torch-song theatrics through the chaos of downtown New York.
This 2023 reissue by Radiation Records revives the album’s deranged elegance: brass arrangements and noir textures frame Lunch’s sharp, theatrical voice, a performance that feels both cabaret and apocalypse.
Queen of Siam captures a city and a psyche in collapse seductive, sardonic, and defiantly alive.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
