Notes:
Lou Barlow and John Davis first got together to write songs in
Davis's living room when the latter was a unknown college
student whose boombox-recorded cassettes of wan poetry, sparse guitar, and
acres of tape hiss were barely available from Shrimper records. Barlow's
projects Sebadoh and Sentridoh, although underground phenoms, were nothing
you'd bring home to play to mom, dad, or your kid sister. But then they
recorded "Natural One," a fluke hit from the soundtrack to Kids, and
catapulted out of their indie world and onto the charts. This is their
third proper album and the first to follow up on "Natural One's" success by
reuniting them with that song's producer Wally Gagel.
