Merge
1991
Rating: 7 decent balls out of 10
To quote straight from the Angels of Epistemology page on the Merge website, "Although the Angels of Epistemology existed from 1986 to 1989, their first release, a six-song 7” EP, did not come out until 1991." This is that release. I knew one of the songs ("The Charm") from the five year anniversary Merge comp "Rows of Teeth," so why not pick this old dusty gem up out of the bargain bin? Stylistically it's kinda all over the map with these three songs, sounding like a band influenced equal parts by the jangle pop of the Triangle (the Connells, Dillon Fence, etc), REM, and Sonic Youth. What I'm saying is their songs are weird and catchy at the same time. The sixth release by Merge!
