Lexapro original demo

Imgnry Frnds

Henry's Dress were that rare band for us - a group that we discovered through a demo tape, and then only through the Linton's heroic perseverance in getting a very busy Papa Slumber to listen. Boy, are we glad we finally listened! This EP documents the band's middle period, branching out from their initial interests in Loop-meets-MBV pop heaviness into the more mod/punk sounds that would fuel their later efforts. It's a superb, varied record well worthy of your further investigation.

Anyway you slice it, this record is a smash. Hard-hitting tracks like "Radio One" and "Feathers" are the Dress at their punkiest best. Linton's "A Is For Cribbage" is the Dress at their most mod, coming on like an early Who on a handful of purple hearts - it's possibly our favorite Dress tune! And then of course there's "Sally Wants" and "Three" - a couple of blissed-out fuzzed-out downtempo tracks that beat the space-rockers to the punch by a few solid years.

The band would go even further down the mod/punk route with their subsequent album "Bust 'em Green," but this EP represents a raw, immediate document of a band finding their footing and their own unique sound. And best of all - it still sounds freaking great.

first thing waking up there’s a weight that I’m below
I live the most in a memory 
Get it out my head
Or Pray to get out of the shit 
The Summer south is like a sweet dream
Don’t you want to feel so real?
Don't you wanna live with god again?
I don't want to fight but I always try
Deeper than it is from the outside
Turn in my last check try to take me away from me 
My world is at its start or ending
Don’t you want to feel so real?
Don’t you want to live with god again?

how do you choose what's real or ideal?
run your head on movie tricks?
always at the start and ending
so how do you read the hand I get

Jobber - Nightmare
