Org Music (2022, Reissue)
Releases for Record Store Day have typically been getting less and less interesting as the years go by. In particular, the Black Friday version of the even essentially never has anything that I'm interested in. This past year was an anomaly as one of the releases was this reissue of the first Overwhelming Colorfast album.
I'm not sure exactly how this one ended up on their list. I find it difficult to believe that there was a huge clamoring from the general public for this album. But for folks like me, this is on e of the more exciting records to be part of RSD in ages.
I first got into Overwhelming Colorfast through the band fluf. I had heard favorable comparisons and fluf even covered the Overwhelming Colorfast song "Song in D" on one of their 7"s. This album, their self titled debut, wasn't my entry point. I had picked up Two Words prior to that and honestly, my absolute favorite record on theirs is Moonlight & Castanets. But I have had the CD of this album forever and it's chock full of noisy, big guitar pop.
fluf is definitely a solid comparison and if that doesn't work for you, I would think pretty much anyone that likes Sugar or the more recent Bob Mould solo records would be happy to add this record to their collection. I have seen it teased that the band is currently working on getting Two Words pressed on vinyl for the first time. I can't wait for that one and am just keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get to my favorite, Moonlight & Castanets after that.
