POP NARCOTIC
MAIL ORDER CATALOG # 4
SEPTEMBER 1993
IDAHO “Skyscrape” (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.
