Dex Romweber - Carrboro - VINYL LP

Teenage Fan club's MAN-MADE is August installment in the Merge Records 25th anniversary reissue series. Originally released in 2005, MAN-MADE is a classic Fan club record in tone and arrangement, and handsomely demonstrates the 'less is more' maxim-it is both airier and more light of touch than it's immediate predecessors. Teenage Fan club made the record in Chicago with John McEntire (Tortoise) at his Soma Electronic Music Studios. Though McEntire's production is subtle, his unique aesthetics are definitely apparent on Man-Made as odd keyboards and sundry other inevitably electronic apparatuses bubble and bleep just below the surface of fuzzed-out guitars, chugging basslines, and layered vocals.

Good Thing Goin' is the first new studio album in 7 years from the punkabilly guitar legend. On this album, Dex finds a balance between battered guitars, piano ballads, and reverb-drenched vibes while powered by the inspiration of classic gospel and soulful R&B. Good Thing Goin' is a solid collection of new original songs and covers that work as a genre-blending playlist of his entire career. Sounds shift from primitive rockabilly to swinging instrumentals to surf rock to crooning ballads.1. Good Thing Going2. If You Love Me3. Going Down4. Comin' Home5. Andrieux Boogie6. For All We Know7.
