POP NARCOTIC

MAIL ORDER CATALOG # 4

SEPTEMBER 1993

 

IDAHOSkyscrape” (Ringers Lactate)

 

Honestly, this is my favorite record of this catalog. Slow, moody and beautiful music with a real edge. For fans of Codeine and The Red House Painters, this is a must have record. Bands like Idaho and Aurora Paralysis are bringing the indie rock ethic to music that normally gets lumped into the “ethereal” or “4AD-clone” categories. Idaho does it with so much more honest care and emotion that I realize that there’s a lot more life in a genre that I thought was dead years ago.
