Friends With Benefits

Cassette tape collection of cool weird bands from the Denver Boulder
area. Very 80-90's, "low fi", noise all the way to the Twee Pop
(remember?). Varied, a few tracks are lovely shoe gazey atmospheric
psych. Totally College Radio fare, retro in a sense going back to the
feel of Chris Knox, Guided By Voices, back when the Fostex and Tascam
4-track cassette ruled the world of creative weirdoes. Lift the hood
on this one for a peek.
