Repressed on vinyl of this 1994 release. Gastr del Sol was the most prominent vehicle of indie rock stalwart David Grubbs, a former member of Squirrel Bait and Bastro. With Gastr del Sol, the Louisville, KY-born vocalist / guitarist / pianist's evolution from conventional rock music into more intricate and sophisticated tone patterns became complete. This ep is a bridge between 'Crookt, Crakt, or Fly' and 'Upgrade and Afterlife'. The bolts are tightened a bit, as the minimal meandering of 'Crookt' is replaced by more purposeful arrangements
