about

Originally issued as a vinyl album pressed out of 100.

Yellow Green Red writes:
The fantastic Cosmic Sand Dollars LP that came out of this camp still has me happily scratching my head, and my sense of confusion is exacerbated further by this new Uranium Orchard full-length. It’s not like anything they’ve done before, at least on a musical level, but their same sense of outrageous adventurousness is in tact, perhaps stronger than ever. The most glaring change is the presence of a new vocalist, credited as “little sister Vanessa” in the scant label description. So instead of one of the guys moaning and wheezing over these songs, there’s a tuneful, occasionally-sorrowful vocalist peeking through the mix. As for the music, it’s still all over the place, but a more tender version of “all over the place” – I’m hearing ’50s doo-wop, C86-style indie-pop, the windswept garage-rock of April March, maybe even a feigned attempt at lounge jazz, all mulched by Uranium Orchard’s fearless musicians, who never met a wrong note they didn’t like. The record ends with a fairly straightforward cover-band take on Nazareth’s “Hair Of The Dog” (as an aside, one of my personal faves on Guns N’ Roses’s The Spaghetti Incident), following a warped manipulation of the original Legend Of Zelda castle theme (I think). On any other vaguely-punk band’s album, a random classic-rock cover might be the curious outlier, but it’s far and away the most normal thing Uranium Orchard have done.

moments of astounding beauty & surprisingly moving instrumental gems, somehow still mined from these seemingly finite and familiar forms. "gigolo" is the best bootlegged "vu"/"another view" outtake that the feelies never wrote. addendum: for anyone hesitant to buy due to comments posted here in the past about fulfillment - i have zero complaints with this order. the wax shipped within 5 days and arrived in perfect shape 9 days after ordering. thx sb. cactus libre
