far - water & solutions
released 1998
some of you might think that this really doesn't belong here
some of you might think that this fits in nicely amongst everything else and recall some fond memories of days gone past
some of you might find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife
and you might ask yourself "well,how did i get here?"
speaking for myself...i fall into option number 2 (go on...get it out of your system..i said number 2...yeah yeah)
i can't remember how it was i was turned onto this album...more than likely it was through some random sampler cd i had managed to pick up back in the day
but anytime i play it...it takes me back to summer (but no summer in particular)
perhaps i'm just rambling
it was my posting of hum (found down under) that made me want to post this as well
so if you like hum...some AROUND THE FUR-era deftones...some jawbox...and wish frontman jonah matranga's current "band" onelinedrawing weren't so still existing...
DL: water & solutions
I think it hints more of Jawbreaker than Jawbox. That said, very good album and thanks for posting another unheard gem for me.
ReplyDeletei really preferred tin cans and strings over this album. apparently they are back together and workingon a new album?
ReplyDeletewell...hopefully that one line drew itself into a wall
ReplyDeletei remember seeing footage of the "band" at hellfest 2004...and the whole thing just seemed kind of awkward
