Swinebolt 45

This tape consists of previously released material, condensed for Al's SOP label. A pretty fair electronic excursion, but rather unmemorable. There's some nice subtlety here and there, and a little grappling with peaks. Good for background-- and that's probably the whole point. The cassette album is still available from Sound of Pig via the link below. LINKS: Sound of Pig Catalog (see SOP 238) Cassette Culture Shock Entry Underground Music Museum archive.org

The Faint of Heart - Kiss & Make-up

As Clevescene wrote in 2004, The Faint of Heart leading man, Cleft S, doesn't sing as much as he talks in key. Kiss & Make-up is full of doo-wop hooks and jilted humor. Acoustic guitar and 3-part grrl harmonies. And a lot of tasty stuff for the ears, glockenspiel, organ, etc. Reportedly there was a followup recorded shortly after this one called Let's Do It! Where can I find it? Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3H4aVRU
