Singles Going Single #102 - Facts About Israel 7" (1994, Torn Chord)

I recall someone namedropping this band in the comments portion of one of my posts from last year. As luck would have it, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this wallet-friendly, three-song single. Facts About Israel were a co-ed, noise-addled quartet of indie kids, that may have hailed from from Virginia. So said Telegraph fanzine about this disk:

Small Factory shares reefers with Pavement and steals Aerosmith's tour bus.

Whoever penned that blurb must have have imbibing some reefer himself, at least pertaining to the Aerosmith part of the equation. The standout selection here, "Off Red" (which even caught John Peel's ear) is indeed Malkmus-y, but more specifically a woozy, tremelo-enhanced slice of lo-fi fuzz rock for the ages.
