Free Music Notes for Cypress/Afoot
Free Music Review: c'mon people...it's not THAT good
Hit: 3 Stars
catchy indie nerd pop from the mid-80's. yeah, so it never caught on and yeah, so mitch easter produced a lot of great music. still, that's no reason to fall all over oneself singing hosannas about these albums/this cd. it's melodic and enjoyable, but ultimately a little forgettable. not sure why all the fanboyism with all these user reviews. maybe 40+ people fondly remembering their college years in the early 80's, or maybe people just love an underdog. who knows.
anyway, if you never heard this band 20+ years ago and aren't a huge fan of nerdy white college rock from the 80's, i would venture to say you'll be underwhelmed. it's not like this is the beatles or the kinks.
Cypress/Afoot Poster
One of the biggest gaps in '80s rock-nay, THE biggest gap-would have to be the absence on CD of R.E.M. producer and southern underground rock icon Mitch Easter's band Let's Active. Composed on these two albums of Easter, bassist Faye Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber, Let's Active blended psychedelic production, bubblegum melodies and that Athens-rock jangly guitar sound to create an American answer to the new wave bands from Britain that were sweeping the country at the time. We're thrilled to announce that we're going to release the entire Let's Active catalog, and here we've put together their 1983 EP 'Afoot' and their 1984 debut LP 'Cypress', plus two bonus tracks for a total of 20 tracks of irresistible jangle pop. Includes from 'Afoot-Every Word Means No; Make Up with Me; Edge of the World; Room with a View; In Between', and 'Leader of Men'. From 'Cypress-Easy Does; Waters Part; Lowdown; Gravel Truck; Crows on a Phone Line; Ring True; Blue Line; Flags for Everything; Prey; Co-Star; Ornamental', and 'Counting Down'. And 'Grey Scale' and 'Two Yous' are the bonus tracks. We've also included new liner notes.an indispensable '80s 'Collectors' Choice Music' exclusive!Alternative Rock Music CDs
