SPATIALIZING SOUND
  IN THE TIME DOMAIN (2005)
 

01. ANGLONAUT - This song has been kicking around since '98 or something.
SAMPLE

02. NORTHAMPTON - Our alt-country-ish pandering attempt to get airplay on local radio. Go, Western Massachusetts! Whooooo!

03. UP - Our homage to late 60's Super-8 motorcycle hill climbers.
SAMPLE

04. MONKS DON'T TELL LIES - Originally released on our xmas Promo EP, this track explores the esoteric meaning of Mike Watt's van-as-vessel metaphor. Or it's about kung-fu. -
SAMPLE

05. RARE STAR BALL - A full-blown reinterpretation of a Soul Coughing B-side. Originally recorded for a tribute compilation. Tom totally screwed up the lyrics.

06. IT DOESN'T MATTER (YOU MOTHERFUCKER) - Mostly recorded at Shawn's old apartment in a single afternoon. This song contains 127 cusses.
SAMPLE

07. CHOKING ON THE BLUE HAZE - Yeah. We really like this song.

Listeners are likely to decide by the very first song whether they love or hate Northampton's No-Shadow Kick (according to the EP's cover, now "The" No-Shadow Kick): the lead singer has an intense low nasal yowl, which works well with the mischievous lyrics and turbulent guitars. Those who enjoy the voices of Frank Black (Pixies) or Peter Garrett (Midnight Oil) will likely be charmed; others may find frontman Tom Pappalardo's singing style a turn-off. At seven songs, one of which is crap (aptly named "It Doesn't Matter (You Motherfucker)"), Spatializing Sound in the Time Domain is short, but with so few duds on the list, the overall effect is more one of pithiness than of brevity.
