The gentleman on the cover is flipping us da bird, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. Maybe I shouldn't take it so personally. My familiarity with
The Caroline Know starts/ends with this particular single, though they had at least one more, and even a
full length to their credit.
Jason Loenstein (yes, from Sebadoh and Folk Implosion)
had some involvement with this Massachusetts indie rock proposition, but by the time the "finger" single dropped he was out of the picture. Perhaps even more significantly singer
Stephen Rand passed on in 2011. His distinctive timbre doesn't go unnoticed, and neither does the C/K's guitar interplay, ostensibly inspired by Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500 and Luna). Both tracks qualify as 'growers' in my book, but I'm compelled to investigate further.
