Whoops, not Volcano Suns, it's
Kustomized - The Day I had Some Fun w/ A. The Day I Had Some Fun B. Surgeon's Girl/Stranded on MATADOR. I wrote about it before here. It's great but just I have it on my iPod so okay to part with it.
from "Trouser Press" -
With the once-mighty Boston art-noise scene threatening to recede from the world's consciousness, ex-Mission of Burma/Volcano Suns drummer Peter Prescott launched this fun-spirited ass-biting quartet in which he sings and plays wiry guitar. Kustomized's drummer, Kurt Davis, sang in Bullet LaVolta (where he was known as Yukki Gipe); guitarist Ed Yazijian and bassist Bob Moses complete the loose-fitting lineup. Keeping it all in the family, former Volcano Suns bassist Bob Weston, now of Shellac, produced the first two records, honing a serrated Chicago edge onto the band's casual stylings.
With Malcolm Travis — recently freed of his rhythmic obligations to Bob Mould in Sugar — taking over from Davis and Weston out of the picture, Kustomized shifted gears for the better on At the Vanishing Point. Diverse in tone, less prone to self-defeating indulgence and equipped with more generally reliable material, the album reveals the quartet's stylish side in "The One That Got Away," economically driven by two-fingered organ until a flamethrower guitar break, a properly noirish version of "Harlem Nocturne" and the opening instrumental, "Handcuffs." Elsewhere, Kustomized joyfully overkills simple tunes like a cover of Government Issue's "Bored to Death" with delirious power. So much for suave bachelor pad music — this brings it all back home to the crash pad floor.
