SCREAMING TREES

VAN CONNER, MARK PICKEREL, MARK LANEGAN, GARY LEE CONNER

Influential Seattle band that began with raw neo-psychedelia but evolved 

into one of the marquee outfits of the 1990s grunge movement.

Where many of their Seattle-based contemporaries dealt in reconstructed Black Sabbath 

and Stooges riffs, Screaming Trees fused '60s psychedelia and garage rock 

with '70s hard rock and '80s punk. Over the course of their career, their more 

abrasive punk roots eventually gave way to a hard-edged, rootsy psychedelia 

that drew from rock and folk equally. After releasing several albums on indie 

labels like SST and Sub Pop, Screaming Trees moved to Epic Records in 1989. 

Though they were one of the first Seattle bands to sign with a major label, 

the group never attained the popularity of fellow Northwestern bands (and friends) 

like Nirvana and Soundgarden, largely due to their erratic work schedule

Unlike many Northwest acts of the time, it doesn't seem to be haunted by the ghosts of the Stooges or the MC5, instead the Doors, perhaps, or possibly even the Teardrop Explodes (Mark Lanegan's deep voice is somewhat reminiscent of Jim Morrison or Julian Cope, but with a slight twang). The one contemporary act they most closely resembled at this point in their career would have to be Norman, OK's the Flaming Lips, another gang of iconoclasts who released their first EP in 1985 and first full-length (Hear It Is) the following year. They were neither fish nor fowl -- not exactly punk and not exactly grunge. Like the Flaming Lips, Screaming Trees weren't '60s throwbacks either, despite the occasional tambourine or organ flourish. The album starts off with the bang of the Thirteenth Floor Elevatorsish "Orange Airplane," which bears the unmistakable stamp of producer Steve Fisk (Pell Mell, Pigeonhed)......Clairvoyance proves that Screaming Trees would merely be refining -- not developing -- their sound during their higher-profile years on SST and later Epic. Although it doesn't feature any songs quite as catchy as "Something About Today" or "Nearly Lost You" (from their major-label sojourn), this release reveals a band who didn't have far to go to get there...(AllMusic)
