About this product
Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Drawing spiritual inspiration from the likes of the Buzzcocks, Undertones, and Nick Lowe, the attitude and implied delinquency of The Exploding Hearts was more in line with that of au courant Naughties Warped Tour line-ups. With ten undeniable songs clocking in at just 28 minutes, the Hearts' indisputably essential Guitar Romantic operated as the punk rock equivalent of Ernest Hemingway's writing Nothing extraneous, simple, straightforward, to the point, deserving of no additional flourish or accoutrement, with every creative decision pushing forward the work as a whole. Arguably, perfect. Yet barely three months after it's domestic , with momentum building and Lookout! Records sniffing around, band members Jeremy Gage, Adam Cox and Matt Fitzgerald, all barely in their twenties, would die in a tragic van accident that ended the band. Guitar Romantic (Expanded & Remastered) doesn't just present the album with a sharp, spiffed up remastering. It also found original album producer Pat Kearns spinning the old reel to reel and archived DAT tapes for the first time in twenty years. This enabled Six to drop in nuggets like little snippets of pre-and-post-take studio dialogue amongst band members, adding audible life to a record that for too long has been overly-associated with death. If that weren't enough, the remastering uncovered the previously forgotten organ-heavy InchKing Louie MixInch of the fan favorite InchI'm A Pretender.Inch Even more intriguing was the discovery of a completely unheard take of InchSo BoredInch, previously not even known to have been recorded at the Guitar Romantic sessions. Of most excitement though is a remastered version of InchBusy SignalsInch (a song originally released on a small-quantity 7-inch in January 2003).

Franklin Bruno, songwriter / bandleader of The Human Hearts, has been a stalwart of the independent music scene for two decades. Since his first solo cassettes on Shrimper in the early 1990s, Bruno-and his previous band, Nothing Painted Blue-have recorded for a who's-who of significant indie labels, including Scat / Matador, Shimmy-Disc / Kokopop and Absolutely Kosher. His songs have been covered by the likes of Lou Barlow, Jennifer O'Connor, and the Mountain Goats' John Darnielle (with whom Bruno occasionally collaborates in the duo the Extra Lens). in 2009, Pitchfork called Local Currency, a reissue of early solo material, a collection Inchmost songwriters would love to call their own.Inch He's also become a noted music writer, penning a book on Elvis Costello's Armed Forces for the 33 1/3 series, and contributing to the Nation, the Believer and other publications. The Human Hearts is Bruno's new, NYC-based band; Another is their first proper album (following a mail-order-only CD in 2006 and some 7-inch and compilation appearances). Recorded at Brooklyn's Seaside Lounge (New Pornographers, St. Vincent), Another finds Bruno and drummer Matt Houser joined by old and new friends, including Nothing Painted Blue / Mountain Goats bassist Peter Hughes, guest vocalists Laura Cantrell and Jenny Toomey, guitarist Pete Galub, and accordionist / composer Ted Reichman. Ranging from horn-driven power-pop (InchLove-StarvedInch) to bossa nova (InchTimes Mirror SquareInch) and classic, Tin-Pan-Alley-inspired songcraft (InchCalifornia BabyInch), Another is one of the most consistent and fully realized records of a 20-year career.
