The Mendoza Line - Draft Day Jitters 7'' (Kindercore, 1996)

The Mendoza Line
Draft Day Jitters 7''
Kindercore
1996

Rating: 6 psychoanalysts out of 10

As near as I can tell this is the first release by the Mendoza Line, an EP of four songs on clear green vinyl.  IT would be a struggle to call any of this crucial, but all of the songs are pretty good - They have a jangle pop sound that they occasionally amp up into Replacements territory, and other times drop off into near alt-country.  I prefer the upbeat songs of side A (those being "Jefferson" and "7th Round") over the mellower fare of side B ("I Behaved That Way" and "Latch Key Heart").
