I put this on yesterday morning while me and my lady were getting dressed, and realized that Seasick may have been the first indie rock record that I ever fell in love with. Random, right? I remember listening to it on cassette in my sister's car and thinking that it was the absolute pinnacle of hipness ("they clearly like The Velvet Underground, they're gay, they do drugs, holy shit!") It contains the band's one and only (very) minor hit, "You're One," an addictive lil' ditty about shooting heroin. Most of Seasick delivers on that song's promise. Sweet melodies and male-female harmonies tempered by a ragged, distorted delivery and often quite dark lyrical concerns. Also, one of my all-time favorite last songs. <3 this album forever.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, I've wanted to hear this again for ages, I have the cd but no way of playing it anymore. You're one is about Kurt Cobain, the 'Peace and Love and Empathy' was from his suicide note.
