Split 7''
Stay Free
1993
Rating: 7 double downs out of 10
Having recently seen Chuck Johnson live (former frontman of Spatula), that band has recently been on my mind; but I doubt I've thought about Evil Wiener in fifteen years. They hold the a-side and put forth a decent but fairly typical early nineties Chapel Hill indie rock song called "The Truth About Mary Poppins." The better half is Spatula - this was when they were in their Pavement-inspired indie folk stage, and they deliver two catchy tracks "Break" and "Your Heart's Cold." Later on they would get weirder and more ambient and influenced by world music and now Chuck is playing this delicate instrumental guitar folk, but this early version of Spatula was always my favorite.
