Release Notes:
Merging the eclectic instrumentation of Talking Heads with the ethereal vocals
of Peter Gabriel, the two members of Prints mingle the precision of Brian Eno
and the jubilance of Brian Wilson. Produced at home by the group, Prints resists
precious tendencies, building from the unvarnished performances and otherworldy
themes. The lyrics - often improvised and laid down live in one or two takes -
create a lucid, dreamlike environment, marrying disparate images into fantastic
and sometimes comical scenarios. Prints is that rarest of pop records,
consistently rewarding with repeated listens - the distorted thumb piano
lingering in the background on "Easy Magic" and the stereophonic vocal
counterpoint throughout are particularly stunning. Its soul shines long after
the hook has been worn down.
