Our Plastic Destiny

Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, Flaming Lips, Space Needle, Neutral Milk Hotel fans take note: Quintessential early 90’s lowfi noisey indie rock re-issue/comp from Boston. If there was a formula written for that perfect low-fi fuzzy guitar’ed poppy yet noisey, self-concious slightly offkey but sincere melodic vocal’ed indie rock that made the aforementioned bands famous (if not recouped their expenses) then this band followed it. To the last dotted i and crossed t. From 1993-96.
