I initially learned of these New Jersey college radio types through the now defunct Feelin' Kinda Froggy blog, and without much legwork on my part, found a near-mint condition copy of the Painted Birds ep, presumably their only release. Some nice strummy indie-pop here, taking their cues from the usual array of suspects: REM, Dream Syndicate, Feelies and a myriad of others, sans any of the irony and obliqueness. The label that released Green and Peaceful World, Absolute-a-Go-Go, put out yet another ep in 1987 by a likeminded outfit, The Wooden Soldiers, who as it turns out earned themselves an unpload just three months ago on these pages. You can read a Wikipedia article on Painted Bird's founder, Brad Morrison, which also delves further into the Absolute-a-Go-Go label, as well as other projects he's been affiliated with.01.
