[shiny grey monotone]: Hose.Got.Cable - Majesty
You can get the whole record over at Shiny Gray Monotone, and if you like the post-Jehu/post-hardcore stuff, then I highly suggest you check out Majesty. It really is an unheralded album of its era. I don’t want to overstate it—there are a few weak points, like the challenging-but-not-satisfying ten-minute opening track, or the embarrassing “Smallest Living Thing,” or the pointless lo-fi live recording of Joy Division’s “Transmission” at the end—but when HGC hits the spazzy/math/hardcore sweet spot, they’re pretty incredible. If these guys were from San Diego they’d have been signed to Gravity and plenty more people would remember them fondly. (Gabba and Sam, I think you guys in particular would like a lot of this record, if you haven’t heard it.)
