Album Notes
Recording information: Dave Wellhausen's Studio, San Francisco, CA; Industrial Studios, San Francisco, CA [live]; Music Annex Recording Studios, Menlo Park, CA; WNUR, FM.Unknown Contributor Roles: Zachary Smith; Zack Smith; R. Dunbar Poor; Jozef Becker; Paul Wieneke.The release of this six-song EP assuaged the thirst of Loud Family fans in the interim between the group's first and second full-length releases. Consisting of three songs from the 1993 debut, a live take on a classic Game Theory song, an inspired cover song, and one new song that sounds like an old chestnut, SLOUCHING is disappointing only for its brevity.At their ultra-catchy best, The Loud Family sport more hooks than a national pirate convention. "Take Me Down (Too Halloo)," from 1993's PLANTS AND BIRDS, is one of the group's most unabashedly sunny confections, while "Slit My Wrists" shows how pretty Scott Miller can make suicidal thoughts sound. The previously unreleased "The Come On" has a concise structure and absurdly singable melody reminiscent of classic Game Theory. As he often does, Miller starts off in the first person but switches to "us" when he reaches the chorus ("Hey, don't deceive us/there's no one in our world believing us") as if singing for the misunderstood and lovelorn everywhere. A faithful cover of Big Star's anthem of awkward teen lust, "Back of a Car," follows. Rounding things out is an alternative take of Game Theory's should-have-been hit, "Erica's Word."
