ESPDISK 5060LP
|
ESP-Disk's drive to revive weird rock begun in 2019 with Painted Faces' Tales from the Skinny Apartment (ESPDISK 5032LP) and continued in 2020 with the OPTO S LP Human Indictive / Live (ESPDISK 5055LP), is furthered with the new studio album by this Massachusetts quartet, recorded in mid-2020. Formed in 2016, it has an LP on the great Feeding Tube imprint and a handful of cassettes and CD-Rs, most self-released. Although, yes, there's a distinct Velvet Underground influence to be heard, there's an underground/outsider feel thanks to the unique vision of singer/lyricist/guitarist/visual artist Jeffrey Gallagher ("a visionary and experimental musician" --Boston Hassle), who has a plethora of self-released material under a variety of pseudonyms (and ESP has plans to release some more).
Personnel: Jeff Gallagher - guitar, vocals; Jonathan Hanson - guitar, keyboards; Shane Bruno - bass; Chris Wojtkowski - drums. Produced by Barny Lanman and Bridge of Flowers. Recorded at Zen Den Studios in Fitchburg, MA.
