vhf#30 Wingtip Sloat If Only For The Hatchery LP/CD
The oddly titled If Only For The Hatchery was Wingtip Sloat's first new work in
almost 3 years following 1995's Chewyfoot and found the boys fitter and "better recorded" than ever. 12 all
new tracks and not a single throw-away (well, OK, maybe one but it's only 1 min long).
Following on from their legendary early-90's singles,
IOFTH finds the trio's blend of highly fragmented rock and cryptic
experimentation mercifully unaltered by the comings and goings of recent trends. In the
tradition of other over-intellectualizers Wire, Swell Maps, Tall Dwarfs, etc. Sloat mix
the familiar and strange in equal parts, adding in unique instrumental and vocal
personality. Charming and disarming, IOFTH contains lyrical and melodic tracks
like "Sundowner's 90 Mile Pilot" alongside angular post-punk chargers like
"Part Of Three" and makes the whole mess work. Really, this is right up their
with their early singles in terms of fragmented art-damage and FUN. Also - it's on LP, HQ RTI pressing with
AJ Dubac's full color collage intact and hell yes, it costs money to do that kind of
stuff, so buy it!!!! 12 Tracks, 39 Mins. CD $9 or LP $7
