Cool record. Sounds like an Albini recording, and he did do the one before it, but not this one. I think at that time Brian Paulson did a better job than Albini might've, like he was really in touch with what it should sound like. Hard to believe it's the same band that recorded Tweez. I think Will Oldham took that cover shot, and he and David Pajo have made a couple pretty nice records together over the years since, under each of their various guises.
Did you ever hear the Pinback
Summer In Abaddon album, and its ending "AFK" song? Cool Slint reference at the end, after the breakdown, when it gets all quiet, then comes the line, "and I miss you, not in a Slint way, but I miss you," going back to the ending of "Good Morning, Captain", and the end of the Spiderland record as well, one of the best endings of all time, the whole record building towards it, the huge climax, McMahan screaming, "I miss you". Lot of stuff packed in those grooves.
