I've owned a CD by this Mass. trio probably for a solid 60% of my life, yet the impression it left was somewhat nondescript. The 45 I'm sharing today is another matter. Two memorable, strummy numbers, with "Shine" bearing resemblances to certain late-80s SST signees, albeit nothing obvious. A much more lackadaisical fIREHOSE or Angst perhaps? Anyway, the chorus is undeniably the selling point that keeps this five-minute A-side pleasantly afloat. The plaintive "Baby, The Rain" is a subdued, acoustic traipse, the kind of comfy, goes-down-smooth ditty that would be the perfect accompaniment for any given afternoon slouch in a hammock.
A. Shine
B. Baby, The Rain
