Another late December arrival at Captain's Table from First Mate Starbuck / Darren Jones for the second day of 2024. A neat album called Try Not To Laugh from Minneapolis based DIY Indie journeyman Graham Hunt.
It's a charming little record. Eight songs and less than half an hour in running length. The kind of songs of everyday woe which would have fitted snugly on Stiff Records on the late Seventies..
Minneapolis finest, wayward sons Replacements might nod and raise their cans in salute to the sentiments expressed here. Not a record that wishes to or will set the world alight on any level. It went down very nicely with breakfast yesterday.and I at least can hope for no more.
Thanks Bruce! It says something about my listening habits that I had to play it again to remind me what it sounded like (just a few weeks after it came out). Might also say something about the album, too. Enjoyed it while I was listening to it, but didn't linger long in the memory. As you say, sometimes that's enough.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was good and I've played it a few times. Cheers. I've no idea how you come across some of these.
