Very cool sound! That’s a very good mix going on, and the organ sounds so gnarly, it’s awesome. Apologies that the rest of this is not about your fine band. But I have to share this story. In high school in 1989, I found this record for 99 cents:
It’s a compilation from an 80s basement band called Smersh. They are so awesome! It was two guys in Scituate, MA with a sequencer and lots of enthusiasm. They released over 30 cassettes in the 80s. They used a dual tape deck to record “multitrack!” All overdubs with that tape hiss and massive noise floor. First tape was released in 1982 I think. The singer / guitarist Chris Shepard died in 1993 I think. Mike Mangino is the other 1/2 of the band, and I’ve communicated with him many times over the past few decades. I’ve managed to find about 12 or 13 of those original 80s cassettes. This band is a huge influence on me, and your album title brought it all back. —Daniel Deathtide |

Thanks Tide, and Surfcat! It was definitely a fun CD to record. Big shout out to the Surf Hermits and their rocking version of Frankenstein. I thought I was being clever with the name! Smersh sounds great, we were actually considering releasing the EP on orange cassette! —https://jimandtheseadragons.bandcamp.com/track/caught-in-the-spiders-web |
