about

This is the first album that CP recorded, but was the fourth release (wha?!). The band started making this record when they were all seventeen/eighteen years old - the folly of youth. They were like children in a candy store (or bulls in a china shop...) and maximised the potential of a multitrack studio by playing with overdubs, tape speed, backmasking etc. There's a naive playfulness on this album and it features an orchestra (comprised of mates) for a total of 23 seconds. By the time of the album's completion K, Hossi and Time felt their music making had moved on somewhat, so they shelved the record for eight years and put out three other releases before allowing this one to surface. It's snappy, ambitious and vibrant - they were just kids!

They are one of the most influential bands to emerge from the 90's WA underground. ... more
