The Other Men - Wake Up Swimming

[perriwinkle]

The guys from Heavy Vegetable (Rob Crow, Travis Nelson, and Manolo Turner) got together after 11 years apart and recorded this beastly album called Wake Up Swimming released under The Other Men. Manolo became a gardener and Travis was out kickin it with some silent monks for those years. It just came out on Thursday. I've only heard the first song, "Other People", but it's great and I'm waiting till my copy arrives in the mail to hear the rest. So I haven't heard False Positives yet but it's probably sweet. Here are two tracks I founded hosted online:

"Other People"

This album pretty much owns. The music nuances present in it are incredible. Everything just sounds perfect.

[Hedgedive]

I've never listened to Heavy Vegetable but this stuff is pretty cool.

jeff i am glad to hear that you liked it and i do hope you actually meant you would order it and Frisbie because they would both be worth it like surfeit

i couldnt think of anything that rhymed with worth it. anyways, i will continue to up this album onto album trading again and again until people listen because everyone should hear it.

last 4 songs on the album = sexxxxxxxxxxx

[Thanks]

A bunch of my friends are Rob Crow obsessed, so I heard about this. The one track I heard was better than the other Crow stuff I've heard. I'm not really a fan of HV or Pinback or Optiganally Yours or Goblin **** or The Ladies.

im not big into Optiganally Yours, i'm more into the Ladies but don't listen to it very often, and the other three i love. i'd prob consider them favorite bands
