Bring on the summer heat!
Our Record of the Month Club pick for May is a true 1990’s (1996 to be exact!) overlooked classic. The debut album from The American Analog Set is what dreams are made of… if you dig mid-1990’s obscure spacedream slowcore rock. Think Bedhead, Galaxie 500, Stereolab and Spacemen 3 (but from Austin, Texas!), Slint, Slowdive… you’re getting warmer.
Club Members will be getting a copy of The Fun of Watching Fireworks pressed on “Too Tired to Shine” clear vinyl from our pals at Numero Group. We’ll begin shipping these out asap.
Drop the needle on the turntable, turn off the air conditioner, and sweat it out.
From the record label:
The dreamy debut album from Texas’s new wave of American krautrock. Recorded at home in 1996, The Fun Of Watching Fireworks straddles the aerodynamic drag between lo-fi and Living Stereo, huffing hypnotic chem trails, Ampex 456 polyfibre dust, and subtropical ozone while the Farfisa warms up. Remastered from the original analog tapes as a reminder of what life was like in the before times. Trespassers encouraged.
