Archers of Loaf: The Underground Is Overcrowded
Even though Archers of Loaf were a very odd and distinct band, I still think of them as being the archetypal ’90s indie rock group. It’s all in the way they mixed up the punk and the lackadaisical, nailing the precise measures of irony, bitterness, anger, humor, and resignation defining what was once understood as a “slacker” aesthetic. Eric Bachmann’s croaking voice is perhaps the most recognizable aspect of the band’s sound, but I think the real draw is the guitars, which cling and clang with a perfect balance of color and grit.
