About

This hefty reissue captures the Oklahoma eccentrics at a turning point, their DIY roots resonating through screeching guitars as a festival-headlining future lurks in sharp pop moves. On 1995's <i>Clouds Taste Metallic</i>, Wayne Coyne's childish quiver hopscotches around woozy guitar effects, while "Bad Days" perfectly encapsulates the album's surreal mix of dreamy doom. Rounding out the set is a 1994 EP, a 1996 live recording, plus rare warped covers of Lennon, Bolan, and Bowie. Taken together, it’s a mix of messy and terrifying, ethereal and enchanting—the best stuff on earth, and beyond.
