Description
Might be the hardest Bats lp to find on vinyl. Original pressing on Flying Nun New Zealand. God, I love The Bats!
NOTES: While in many ways a retreat — it was recorded in New Zealand without a producer and has a more introspective timbre — Couchmaster is actually a boundary-stretching breakthrough. The guitars have a warm electric glow (not unlike Yo La Tengo's electric reflections); the songs are less formulaic and a little more adventurous, broader in length and scope on "Afternoon in Bed" and the hypnotic "Crow Song." While the quartet still offers a handful of familiarly winged pop songs ("Land 'o' Lakes," "Out of Bounds"), the slide guitar on "Work It Out" and the instrumental "Supernova" introduce new elements. The dark, slow "Shoeshine" features Woodward's first lead vocal.
