Lab exclusivo to celebrate our 25th anniversary! Analphabetapolothology has been a staple in our office ever since the vinyl reissue hit a few years back. This #TTL25 edition pressed on blue and pink swirl vinyl is limited to 500 individually numbered copies. Original Lab review:
I never heard of until about a month ago... 90s midwest emo-punk isn't really my wheelhouse, but I got hooked real fast. To me, this shit sounds like 90s skate video music (quick check: one 411 appearance), and passes all my sniff tests: indie-typography cover, angsty standout ("Oh Messy Life") and overall vinyl-worthy purchase quality ("Basil's Kite" is one of my favorite songs I've discovered this year). There's also a decent cover of A-Ha's "Take On Me," which kinda gets buried in the overall greatness. Cap'n Jazz only released one album and a handful of EPs in the 90s. The band broke up and dispersed into various emo institutions (, , Joan Of Arc, etc.) and the label released this comp as a double CD back in 1998. Nearly 20 years later, we get this double vinyl pressing to reconnect with. Thank you.
