Hula Hoop Loveliest Ring of Saturn CD The Louisville foursome deliver the goods on their U.S. debut album recorded in Steve Albini's basement by Bob Weston (Shellac, Volcano Suns). Ten(+) tracks exhibit the finest pop songwriting from the heart of the country: songs from the capital city of horse racing about midgets, planets, Tom Waits, alchohol and love. Rachel Grimes (of Quarterstick recording artists, Rachels) displays her bass proficiency while Chuck and Eric (of Hulaboy) switch hit on guitar and vocal exercises. All the while Stephen is pounding so hard on his drums you would think he owns stock in the Remo drum head manufacturer. These folks have recorded two Peel sessions, toured the US and Europe, and continue to be the most optimistic clan of friends we have ever met. Pop songs for every mood, every emotion, and every day of the week. Butterfingered b/w Dreamsicle 7" With Rachel Grimes (Rachels) on bass, this single proves the Louisville, Kentucky crew was destined for success. The A-side is a different version of the song they recorded originally as a Peel Session, while the B-side explores Stereolab-ish Moog territory. Hula Hoop's full-length and (their sideproject) Chong Marker's CD are also available from Silver Girl. OUT OF PRINT
