A M G says of The Extra Glenns:
The Extra Glenns were an underground legend for almost ten years before their album saw the light of day. A collaboration between Nothing Painted Blue's Franklin Bruno and the Mountain Goats' John Darnielle, the duo recorded several singles and compilation tracks in the early '90s, then disappeared entirely while concentrating on their other projects. As their individual popularity grew, the two continued to work together when given the chance, and the songs that would eventually appear on Martial Arts Weekend began to take shape. The intention was not to continue the project, but when the two played a secret show at the 2000 San Francisco Noise Pop Festival, a crowd of 200 arrived. With people coming in from as far as New York City specifically to see the Extra Glenns, they knew that they should continue their efforts. The two started to record after that point, getting together in San Francisco until January of 2002, when the album was finally released. In 2010, the duo inked a deal with Merge, changed its name to the Extra Lens, and released a new collection of original material called Undercard.
Wi ki ped ia says of The Extra Lens:
The Extra Lens, formerly known as The Extra Glenns, are a band made up of Franklin Bruno of Nothing Painted Blue and John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats. They were something of an underground legend in the 90's, recording tracks for singles and some compilations. Both artists however started concentrating on their own solo work, though as their popularity grew they continued to work together when possible. A show at the 2000 San Francisco Noise Pop Festival found an unexpected crowd in attendance with exceeding interest with fans coming from as far away as New York just for the band. They decided then that it was a good idea to keep it going and in 2002 Absolutely Kosher Records released Martial Arts Weekend, the group's first full length album.
In August 2010, it was announced that The Extra Lens had signed to Merge Records and changed their name to The Extra Lens. The new album, Undercard, was released on October 19, 2010. SPIN Magazine gave the record 7 out of 10 stars, calling it "vivid" and "haunting."
7" is MINT-/Cover is VG (with light creasing at the top and discoloration where the price tag was on the right side of the front cover).
