Crimony
EP
Creeping under the wire at only 6 songs I managed to pick this EP up in a bargain bin for only £1.99. Recording together now and then, one time brothers-in-law Paul Roessler and Mike Watt put this out in 1988. Paul Roessler wrote all of the songs on this record, and he also sings. His voice, and also the atmosphere of the songs - in particular the opening Life's Too Short - remind me of a slightly less geeky version of John B. Sebastian. And not in a bad way. The EP is a easy listen, with Vampire Party being a pretty cool track. Maybe this sounds a bit like Ben Folds Five.
Pick it up if you see it, but don't bust a gut tracking it down.
