This album was recently requested from one of our gracious viewers. It was in fact procured several months ago from the late, great Power Pop Lovers blog, a none-too-key impetus for creating my own page, but I digress.
My knowledge of One Plus Two doesn't stretch far beyond the music and album sleeve. They were a coed outfit who released this album on Homestead Records in 1986, and had two previous records available, namely another 12" on Homestead, and a 7" ep titled Watercolor Haircut on the prestigious New Math label.
Once In a Blue Moon is an immediately winsome album, flavored with the jangly indie-pop (think Mitch Easter, etc) of it's era. Perhaps not brilliant, it's still well worth anyones time and hard drive space.

I love winsome jangle pop - never heard of these guys. Thanks so much. LD
Thank You. I just picked this up in a trade about a week ago. I love it.
Hello. I'd appreciate if you could re-new this link in your next re-up campaign. Also, looking for few old Homestead records and knowing that you are fan of the label I kindly ask for some future dedicated posts (if you have them on the shelves or hard-disc): Death of Samantha 'Strangout if Jargon' and 'Come All Ye Faithless' + both early singles; Meatmen 'War of the Superbikes; My Dad is Dead; Blackjacks; Dogmatics; Nomads; second EP from the Files; the Frogs; Fish & Roses ... that's it. Thanks. Regards
great music, never heard of them and love the REM/ Mitch Easter sound..
any chance you might have that 1st lp "One Plus Two – The Ivy Room " for download?
cheers
Hey, 1 more thing , Track 7 noted as "heaven up there" seems to be the wrng track, probably mislabeled while naming downloads, this track is awesome, but its a 80's minimal new wave band with a female singer, not on par with the other 9 jangly pop songs.. PS id like to know who sings the track by the way!, love Minimal 80s too!
Would it be possible to reupload this as I am digging into more of the Jangle Underground artists?
Thank you for this blog.
What an earth shattering find! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
