Hey! _Buzzo! Look at this!
 
JAPANCAKES - Loveless CD (Darla: DRL188: 708527018828) $12.00

 


EXCLUSIVE. Available 11/13/2007. Athens, GA's experimental, instrumental, Americana group, Japancakes cover My Bloody Valentine's classic Loveless record from start to finish with pedal steel and cello in place of vocal and lead melodies -- and without any distortion. MBV’s Loveless (Creation: 1991) remains the defining record of the genre and completely unparalleled by any artist since. This is super fun! Japancakes don't record together like other bands. They do play together but when they record in studio they do so one at a time. Each player writes their own part and adds it to the part(s) recorded previously by fellow band members. The result of this practice is that the personality of each individual player is often better captured. Each player's individual performance is strengthened by the technique. Japancakes is Eric Berg, rhythm guitar, Nick Belli, bass, Brant Rackey, drums, John Neff, pedal steel, Heather McIntosh, cello, Andy Barker, production. RIYL: My Bloody Valentine, Shoegaze, Electronica, Americana, Tortoise, Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Hammock, Santo & Johnny. TRACKLISTING: 1. Only Shallow, 2. Loomer, 3. Touched, 4. To Here Knows When, 5. When You Sleep, 6. I Only Said, 7. Come In Alone, 8. Sometimes, 9. Blown A Wish, 10. What You Want, 11. Soon.

I just found this and downloaded it. It sounds amazing. I bet it would sound even better if I ran it through some sort of distortion.

^No, dude; it would kinda ruin the point.

StevOK 04.08.2008 04:04 PM

The point? Is it supposed to be almost like lullaby music? Like those baby rock records?

One thing I liked about the original record was its abrasiveness. I just want to add a little kick to it, that's all.

They started selling Baby Rock records at the stores here, was very interesting.
