Rocketship
Here Comes...Rocketship CDr
Non Stop Co Op
Years in the making, this is the band's follow-up to their beloved 1996 Slumberland debut, "A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness." Incorporating influences as diverse as the RZA & Smiths, Stereolab & Nico, these 12 brand-new Rocketship songs produced and recorded by Dusty at his Western Circuits recording studio in Manila, CA are sure to please any lover of pop music. Loud organs, super-fast spazzy drum machines, fuzzed-out basslines, and sophisticated melodies, combined with both personal and social lyrics, show them flowering into the masters of pop craft promised in their earlier releases. With ingenuous ballads & earnest computed beatz, dumb, sad rockers & ethereal political ambiences, they abandon genre & market niche to follow producer Dusty Reske's synthesized whims toward your heart's desire. From 1994's ecstatic, melancholic "Hey, Hey, Girl" 7-inch, to 2003's rare "The Quad e.p.," Rocketship has evolved into an anomalous virtuoso expression of popular music not to be missed! CDR in nice origami hand-folded card stock covers.
