GUIDED BY VOICES - SUNFISH HOLY BREAKFAST 12" (MATADOR [OLE 185-1], 1996) [USA]

Guided By Voices - Sunfish Holy Breakfast 12"
(Matador – [OLE 185-1], 1996) [USA]




A nice often looked-over 12" release from Guided By Voices released in 1996. I'm surprised I have not posted anything of theirs yet considering how many releases they have and how much I listen to them. This 12" comes during their prime era (imo), and has nothing but solid tracks.

Nixon - Snow Day CDEP
(Popkonst Recordings – [POPK05], 2003) [SWE]




A CDEP release from Swedish indiepop group, Nixon, also on Popkonst Recordings from 2003. Nice quick pop songs and a wonderful cover of Don Henly's 'The Boys of Summer.'

The Happy Birthdays - Happy Birthdays To You! CDEP

The only release, other than a compilation track, by Swedish indiepop group The Happy Birthdays. Released as a CDEP on Swedish label Popkonst in 2003.


WATERCOLOUR - DEMO TAPE (SELF RELEASED, 1996) [USA]

Watercolour - Demo TAPE
(Self Released, 1996)





The demo tape for midwest Indiana emo group Watercolour that was self-released in 1996. As far as I am aware, their only recorded output is their one song on the compilation 7" "An American Tragedy" that features also Still Life, Three Studies For a Crucifixion, and Dead Silence. The song from that compilation appears here on this demo, plus five other tracks. All thanks to the original uploader! [picture from the compilation 7"]

Love, Claire - Self Titled TAPE

An obscure cassette tape EP self-released with four songs from Portland, Oregan slowcore/emo group Love, Claire. It was reissued in 2017, these downloaded tracks may be from that reissue, not sure.
