Like Swimming – “Swing It Low”- Review

June 1, 1996

“Swing It Low” features sexy, sinewy, hypnotic song-speak by Morphine’s Mark Sandman set to drums and a repetitive one-note groove that is lazily haunting.

E. Coli – To Drool – Review

June 1, 1996

Bummer pop. Churning, hypnotic, brooding. Ex of Ethyl Meatplow, Nitzer Ebb. Wear ’60s and ’70s style suits. Melancholy.

May 1, 1996

Everything is pleasantly tipped on its side: Odd lyrical phrasing, sweet ‘n’ sour harmonies, melodic guitars that are simultaneously dark and edgy.

Mineral – The Power of Failing – Review

May 1, 1996

Mineral mines moody, earnest, accessible power pop territory and delivers it with passionate intensity.
