Cheer-Accident - Salad Days (remastered)
SKU
39-GR 123 CD
This was the final album they made with their good friend, engineer and bandmate, Phil Bonnet, before he died suddenly and very unexpectedly of a brain aneurism. It's been unavailable for years and years and now it returns in remastered form.
Note to folks not used to Cheer-Accident; despite the nicely said stuff below, I think you will have a very hard time drawing a line between this very agressive album and Hatfield and the North. YMMV.
“Salad Days” is a feel good masterpiece of expansive, hypnotic math rock and so much more from the 1997-1999 period of Cheer-Accident. The orchestration is incredible, with extended lush passages fading in and out of proggy grooves and heavenly weirdo sing-a-longs. To me it's like a math rock version of Hatfield and the North. It's really that amazing. There's no question it's a classic of avant-rock, demanding the attention of a wider audience.”-Downtown Music Gallery
