The Gerbils, Are you sleepy? (Earworm) LP
Half of Neutral Milk Hotel plus friends wrestling peculiar tunes from
inchoative playing and overpowered 4-track fuzz. There's obvious
elements of NMH---although never the all-encompassing grandiosity and
pomp of that band---but also hints of Helium, Quasi, subdued Sonic
Youth, a lo-fi Jane's Addiction and Portastatic (who, along with
Sebadoh, are name-checked on "Crayon box"). Very much a side-project,
but definitely not one to be cast aside.
