About this product
Smug Brothers' music has been cutting through the indie noise for more than two decades, driven by the ever-evolving chemistry of singer/guitarist Kyle Melton and drummer Don Thrasher (Guided by Voices, Swearing at Motorists), and their slew of highly collectible LPs, CDs, and cassettes.And yet, you don't need to own any of those to get an overview of the Columbus, Ohio, band's insanely addictive, riff-driven catalog. Smug Brothers' newest , Gravity Is Just A Way To Fall, does that for you, arriving on the heels of both a new record (2025's Stuck on Beta) and an increasing number of shows, festival spots, and Melton's own recording finesse.Like Heartless Bastards, Cloud Nothings, or Times New Viking, Smug Brothers burst out of Ohio in the mid-2000s with a scrappy, lo-fi sound that only hinted at the head-bobbing greatness to come. Briefly a recording project with Darryl Robbins of Motel Beds, and since 2009 a full-fledged band, Melton and Thrasher have belted out Beatlesquese earworms, head-spinning sound collages, serrated stompers, hushed folk, dance-ready horn splashes, and more on their sonic journey.Thank the indie gods, then, that they've chosen a tight 13 songs for the LP version of Gravity - and a generous 31-track CD version - that showcase their mastery with a rotating cast of Ohioans (most of them sporting their own worthy musical projects, including Kyle Sowash, Brian Baker, and Marc Betts).I've been a fan since the very beginning, not just as a proud native of Dayton, Ohio, where they formed, but as a rock lifer and music critic who's been deeply immersed in Midwestern rock since high school. Even before I was pitching stories about them to Rolling Stone or raving about them to friends and colleagues, I convinced Smug Brothers to drive across the country and play a music fest in my current home of Denver.

From 1978, originally on the Choice tag, this album has been remastered and is presented here as the artist intended, with it's original title, track order and album artwork, for the first time since it's original . Remastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering. Vinyl cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl. Tenorlee finds Lee Konitz, the great American saxophonist, playing exclusively on tenor. It was a spontaneous decision, and a tribute to his dear friend, Lighthouse All-Star saxophonist Richie Kamuca, who had passed away just days before Konitz entered the studio for these sessions. Konitz classically trained on the clarinet, but switched to jazz saxophone after being enamored by Lester Young. By 1945 the 18 year old Konitz was performing professionally. He made a staggering 150 albums as a band leader over the course of his long and storied career. He played and recorded with everyone from Dave Brubeck, Charles Mingus, Ornette Colman, Elvin Jones, and Gerry Mulligan, to Elvis Costello, Brad Mehldau and Charlie Haden. Between 1948 and 1950, he was a member of Miles Davis' group, and participated in the recordings that would eventually be collected and released as Birth of The Cool.

The Barr Brothers - EP called Alta Falls. The 5 songs on this record are some of our favorite misfits from the Sleeping Operator sessions. The cover art is by our elusive friend Madame Gilles, whose posters have been anonymously gracing the telephone poles of Montreal for years.
