Hazel

So I've discovered this band through the solo work of their frontman, Pete Krebs (who I've wanted to make a post on for a while but I havnt been able to due to lack of actual music sample to post- check out "pacific standard time" if you can find it somehow, its on itunes). They run in the same veign as Heatmiser and circuited the same scene in Portland in the early 90's. Good stuff to zone out to.

Day-Glo is a video that embodies early 90's alternative- out of character band members(like a 12 year old drummer who sings as a tenor and actually sounds like he's 12 and a band "dancer" (Nastanovich of Pavement mastered this in terms of functionality and aesthetic ha) who looks like a homeless man), sunflowers,overalls, distraught yet contemplative characters, and an overall tone of introspection. Today is the first day I've been listening to it and I'm posting it, so i hope I'm not being too pre-emptive.
