The curiously monikered Streets Living Theater were a North Carolina quartet whose album was produced by one Mitch Easter. From the sound of it however, you'd never guess said jangle-guru was manning the directors seat. Embracing such atypical "modern rock" accouterments as saxophone and recorder, along with more conventional organs/keyboards, SLT never quite flesh out a definitive identity for themselves. On this glorified ep, these fellas drop a myriad of fleeting, not to mention disparate hints, including the likenesses of The Doors, Joy Division, Blue Oyster Cult, Dream Syndicate, and Translator (though rarely a combination thereof in any given song). The choicest cuts here, specifically the jagged "Impossible Love," and the farfisa driven, sci-fi motif of "Waiting For You" may not have been tailor made for left-of-the-dial outlets, but oddly intriguing in themselves.01.
