Been listening a lot this week. Opinions?

The first two promotional copy records I ever got from a friend who worked in a record store were Ruby Sea by Thin White Rope and Flower Power by The Poster Children. I never listened to anything else by Thin White Rope, but I like that one.

Never heard of them but love Paisley Underground "genre." Will give em a go. Thanks.

this has to be bait to get Jodi shapiro/burun/walking shadow back on the forum. she loves these guys.

Thin White Rope is NC. I wouldn't call them paisley underground, More post punk/americana/alt country, but who give s a fuck.

hey jodi.

Cool, never heard of them before, but it's right square in my wheelhouse. Definite NC.

Fucking fantastic.

40 seconds onto 'It's OK' on 'In the Spanish Cave' there is a guitar that sounds like some sort of horrendous, fantastical sea monster roaring from God-knows- where.

Then (same album) there is Munich Eunich and Red Sun straight after each other. Both insanely great.

Even if you hate the music (which I could maybe understand), they are worth hearing for the guitars. Brilliant, brilliant guitars. Also, who sounds like Thin White Rope? Nobody, that's who.

10/10. Not Crap. WF zero.

Adam 1_3, you urge me to listen to them again. I’ve failed to get them to stick on previous attempts - I believe the copy of ‘In the Spanish Cave’ I have was gathered after reading another one of your urging a decade past - and I think I remember the colossal guitar part you mention, but I did not linger over them. If this new attempt is successful, I shall report back. Regardless, still much better than the better-known 90’s band named after jizz.
