Average Luck Charm 7''
Sonic Bubblegum
1995
Rating: 7 insane mothers out of 10
For a label that wasn't local, Sonic Bubblegum sure seemed to release a lot of local records, including this seven inch (and others) from local mathy weirdos Analogue. I could make the obvious comparison that this band (and release) are very reminiscent of Slint, but given Analogue publicly said it was listening to "Spiderland" that got the band together I guess you could call this a "no duh" observation. The title track is superb and b-side "Christmas" ain't bad either. I mostly remember these guys as a live band though, with their giant guitarist the size of mountain and his even bigger hair. It's entirely possible my memories have distorted him to be bigger than he actually was, but that's ok - memories don't have to be perfect so long as they are enjoyable.
