Riddler (1996, CD EP)
You Fantastic!
Tim Garrigan. Darin Gray. Thymme Jones. An organic and insidious piece of deconstruction. Challenging, intelligent, and methodical, but certainly not lacking in visceral impact. Sometimes it’s even quite… funny.
Pals
Pals (1997, CD Single)
You Fantastic!
A very slow moving piece of Rock which pauses briefly for a melancholic breath before ascending to a climax of white noise.

In Sisters All And Felony b/w Angels On Installment Plan (1994, 7″)
Brise-Glace
After a long dry spell, we now have the original Brise-Glace 7 ”in stock again. The birth of Post-Rock? Maybe. We’d have to consult a rock historian about that one. In any case, it must bethe beginning of something ‘cause these distorted multi-drumbeat grooves that get enhanced and/or obliterated by otherworldly sonic bliss sure are a good time. Features Dylan Posa, Darin Gray, Thymme Jones, and Jim O’Rourke.
Homesickness
Homesickness (1998, CD)

Turning lemons into lemonade and back into lemons…
A beautiful 72 minute failure. Features Tim Garrigan, Darin Gray,
Thymme Jones, Jeb Bishop, and Julie Pomerleau.

B O R G N I N E
Block. Jones. Jones. Block. Together again? Just like old times? Perhaps. Perhaps not. You be the judge! The second outing from Pox featuring Scot Ashley, Jim Widlowski and a very special appearance by Dave Kerman of 5uu’s and Thinking Plague. Don’t be left out – order now!
Younger Than You Are Now
Younger Than You Are Now (2004, CD)
CHEER-ACCIDENT
Also known as CHEER-ACCIDENT ‘81-’84, as that is when all of these recordings took place. Yes, those were the formative years… In other words: We were in (and/or just out of) high school when we made this stuff, so give us a break!
Listen to a clip of Feed Grey One from Younger Than You Are Now.

Dumb Ask (1991, CD)
Dumb Ask (1991, CD)
CHEER-ACCIDENT
This is CHEER-ACCIDENT at their most stripped-down and aggressive. Recorded in November ‘89 (in Steve Albini’s charmed basement studio) before Nirvana’s Nevermind and Slint’s Spiderland, Dumb Ask serves as a vital historical document placing CHEER-ACCIDENT in a sort of “alternative to the alternative” parallel universe which existed concurrently to the more “above ground” bands of the early ‘90’s.
Listen to a clip of Small World from Dumb Ask.

Not A Food (1996, CD)
Not A Food (1996, CD)
CHEER-ACCIDENT
In case you were missing some of the CHEER-ACCIDENT dissonance, distortion, and daredevil rhythmic ideas (no doubt OD-ing on the melodicism of The Why Album) this is their Rock Update. Comparable to their (until recently) long out of print (unless you count the Neat Metal version, which doesn’t count) Dumb Ask CD in terms of its aggression, but with a much richer sonic palette. Adeptly engineered by Steve Albini.
