Oh, I know. I guess I was generalizing. "In The Presence Of Nothing" and
"Eccsame The Photon Band" are fun dreamy listens, but "A Brief History Of
Amazing Letdowns" is just about all straight-ahead power pop. And awesome
stuff, too. I got into them through the dreamier stuff... "Letdowns" took me
forever to track down used, so that was a late entry.
The thing is, I really only know the band through those three albums, and
the Aspera Ad Astra split CD. How are the other discs? AllMusic doesn't rate
them too highly...
I have no idea who's playing in the band... I only saw the listing in the
paper.
Oh, and to return to the suddenly, tammy! mini-thread from a few days ago:
the lovely Beth Sorrentino contributes vocals to a couple of songs on "In
The Presence Of Nothing", the first Lilys album. Six degrees of separation!
