GALAXIE 500Though criminally overlooked in their own lifetime, Galaxie 500 later emerged as one
of the pivotal underground groups of the post-punk era; dreamy and enigmatic,
their minimalist dirges presaged the rise of both the shoegaze and slowcore
movements of the 1990s. The group formed in Boston, Massachusetts
in 1986 and comprised vocalist/guitarist Dean Wareham (a transplanted
New Zealand native), and bassist Naomi Yang
and drummer Damon Krukowski, longtime friends
"ON FIRE"

Having already made a fine account of themselves on Today, the three
members of Galaxie 500 got even better with On Fire, recording another
lovely classic of late '80s rock. As with all the band's work, Kramer
once again handles the production, the perfect person to bring out
Galaxie 500's particular approach. The combination of his continued
use of reverb and the sudden, dramatic shifts in the music -- never
exploding, just delivering enough of a change -- makes for fine results.
Again, a cover makes a nod to past inspirations, with George Harrison
being the songwriter of choice; his "Isn't It a Pity" closes out the album wonderfully,
Kramer adding vocals and "cheap organ." Inspired guest appearance, Ralph Carney,
Tom Waits' horn player of choice, adding some great tenor sax
to the increasing volume and drive of "Decomposing Trees." ...(AllMusic)
