BEAT HAPPENING - SEA HUNT 7" (BI-JOOPITER [BI-JOOP 025], 1991) [USA]

Beat Happening - Sea Hunt 7"
(Bi-Joopiter – [Bi-Joop 025], 1991) [USA]



Quite possibly my favorite Beat Happening song on this 7" single released in 1991 on Bi-Joopiter, a small-time English record label. The B-Side "Knock on Any Door" is great and so so morose. I've included the music video for the song, that originally appeared on the "Dead Eye" VHS compilation featuring a ton of other cool bands, as well as Beat Happening.
