Cooking/Inside Out (New LP)

What happens when a band makes two brilliant albums and disappears for decades? Music finds a way, with both Current Joys and Beach Fossils discovering these slacker anthems long after dial-up’s demise. LA’s Current Joys tackle “”Cooking”” from Contemporary Movement, reimagining the San Jose trio’s lo-fi couch potato slouch as a treadmill-ready, jangly power pop ripper. On the flip, Brooklyn’s Beach Fossils gives “”Inside Out”” a facelift, tightening up the original’s loose folds while staying true to it’s curves and freckly stardust. Housed in a full color sleeve, with a nod to Stratosphere photographer Sam Erlich, this limited edition double-sider is a crucial add to any aspiring collector of the Dusterverse.
