Of Recordings

Basically, a second-rate Echo and the Bunnymen. Grl astutely picked up a copy of “Change the Weather” for me while record shopping. I wasn’t even sure if it was the right band for a minute, but sure enough, Rick Smith and Karl Hyde are in the credits. The music is vaguely generic new wave. The album cover even shows them posing self-consciously in sunglasses and tight black t-shirts.

The music is not actually bad, but I estimate the correlation between liking “Change the Weather” and liking “Second Toughest in the Infants” at 0.2.
