Galaxie 500 - On Fire (Reissue) | [Black Vinyl LP] | 20 20 20

Description:


On Fire is widely recognized as the canonic pinnacle of Galaxie 500's career. The artwork conveys this, with a low-angle shot of the band, looking up towards an amber sky. This record marked the realization of their signature sound. Nowhere is it clearer than on the album opener, Blue Thunder, the closest a song can come to waves crashing on a beach in songform. Lyrically inconsequential, with a chorus composed entirely of la's, the tracks power lies in a systematic build and break of intensity that reaches a Spector-like climax. It is the quintessential Galaxie 500 song, encapsulating all that was great about the band. With the Boston trio once again utilizing the bizarre genius of producer Mark Kramer, On Fire sounds like anything but. The guitars are warm blankets enwrapping Dean Wareham's vocals, percolated by the open percussion of Damon Krukowski and anchored by the emotion-laden bass of Naomi Yang. Songs like Snowstorm, Strange, and Decomposing Trees have an endless quality, without beginnings or ends, but rather frozen somewhere on a spectrum of melancholy.
