more swirlies!
this is their 1996 cd "They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days In The Glittering World Of Salons," a much crunchier and more guitar oriented album than "Blonder...", which is saying something. this one draws a line much closer to Sonic Youth territory than "Blonder..." as well, with strange tunings and blurry guitar lines. but, the fun is still on a high level, with skits and nonsensical song titles. the band was really hitting their stride about this time, and this is my favorite album of their's. highlight tracks: "in harmony a new found freedom," "san cristobal de las casas," and "two girls kissing."
the world needs more bands like swirlies. we would all do a little better if we took ourselves less serious.
