The first Volcano Suns release was such a revelation that I don’t think it would be possible for these guys to top it. As much as I appreciate it, the whole thing sounds like a hangover from the first record. And, why not? The Bright Orange Years was SUCH an explosion of alternative goodness that the only thing left to possibly do would be wake up the next day and try to come up with something as good.
Maybe that’s impossible. I still maintain that these guys are every bit as drunk as the ‘Mats but I like them a LOT better. They seem like they’d be more fun to get drunk with than Westerberg.
I bet even Paul would agree.
Side One races by with electric energy but don’t discount Side Two which is more expansive, with just as many time shifts and explosions.
Another excellent and completely surprising and nearly indescribable one from Volcano Suns.
