Every once in a while, an album comes along that fully
captures the imagination and proves that there actually
are new things under the sun. Originally issued in 1989
on LP only, Shrimp BoatÆs Speckly was one such album,
prompting CMJ to gushingly label it ôthe debut of the
year.ö Fifteen years later, the utterly distinctive mesh
of bluegrass, folk, jazz and rock found on Speckly
remains surprising, addictive and timeless.
In 2004, AUM Fidelity released the critically acclaimed
box set Something Grand, which collected together four
CDs of previously unreleased material. Speckly does NOT
appear on Something Grand. This is the first time any of
this material has ever been issued on CD.
Shrimp Boat was the legendary Chicago band made up of
Sam Prekop, Eric Claridge (who both went on to form The
Sea and Cake), Ian Schneller (Falstaff, Specimen
Products), and secret weapon David Kroll. Speckly was
the first album to be completed at the then-brand new
Idful Music, and was recorded by Brad Wood (who later
produced Liz PhairÆs Exile in Guyville) and Brian Deck
(who went on to work with Red Red Meat, Califone, Modest
Mouse and Ugly Casanova). Driven by soul and poetry,
Shrimp BoatÆs material celebrates the imagination, the
hallucinations and the dream.
Press Quotes
"A band not so much ahead of the herd as way beyond it...
playfully following their own rules and still dazzling
over a decade later." -Mojo
"[Their] unique fusion of jazz, bluegrass, folk, rock
and just about everything in between made it a
pioneering touchstone of the Chicago æ90s music scene...if
the group formed today they'd probably be hailed as
geniuses." -Chicago Tribune
"The Chicago post-rock scene of the '90s - the pneumatic
rhapsodies of Tortoise, the chamber pop of The Sea and
Cake, the tone poetry of Gastr del Sol - starts here,
with the twisted-country and art-garage games of local
legends Shrimp Boat." - Rolling Stone
Enjoy!
