Album reviews

The Spectrum Between
Drag City (2000)
After exploring the whole spectrum of ways to piss off an audience, from Squirrel Bait's punk histrionics to Gastr Del Sol's painfully arty guitar-and-tape-trick suites, his second proper solo album introduces a kinder, gentler David Grubbs.

The Thicket
Drag City (1998)
What musician wouldn't want to be in David Grubbs' place? He has a label that loves him and will release pretty much anything he wants (Drag City), a side job backing up one of his idols (playing guitar in Mayo Thompson's re-reformed Red Krayola), and a fanbase that loves him because he's unpredictable and stridently uncommercial.
