Mm-hmm
SkipGUEST
... went to the record store and I bought "Carnavas" on vinyl, and then we went to go see them on the Swoon Tour when "Swoon" came out, and I went to see them a, a couple of times in Birmingham and London.
SkipGUEST
Uh, and then when "Nick of the Woods" came out, I, I just stopped listening, as I said in my rankings episode.
SkipGUEST
If you missed it, go listen.
TylerHOST
... m- my origin story is Tower Records.
TylerHOST
I do- I don't remember ever hearing them before that.
TylerHOST
Um, I was working there when "Carnavas" came out, and it was really popular.
TylerHOST
A lot of people were buying the CD when it came out, and we would play it in the store all the time 'cause one of the girls really liked the, the album.
SkipGUEST
It's a route I've taken before.
SkipGUEST
Uh, so Dave Cooley, uh, he produced both Carnavas and album of the week, Swoon.
SkipGUEST
Uh, he then went on to mix, but not produce, he mixed Integrity Blues by the Jimmy Eat Worlds.
TylerHOST
Oh, wow.

SkipGUEST
They have never sounded like this since.
SkipGUEST
They've tried to recapture it, and we'll, we'll touch on that when we get to the main episode, but they've never been this raw or this analog.
SkipGUEST
"Kissing Families" opening track has probably one of Brian's best ever vocals, because he's doing this thing here which he doesn't do past Carnavas, which is where he actually puts a bit of strain.
SkipGUEST
It's almost like he's singing just, just out of his range.
