Music reviews of Cypress/Afoot

Music Review: Probably 4 1/2 but why quibble?
Rating: 5 Stars

Clever, fun, catchy and generally excellent. Why is it that we don't get much answering to any of those descriptors these days? (Possibly because self-awareness and irony leave room for little else.)

Anyhow, buy Let's Active and hear it for yourself. The 80s scene went layers deeper than the famous headliners. The lesser known groups like Let's Active, The DBs or Guadalcanal Diary are a lot better than you might think. They're great groups that were overshadowed by the Michaelangelos of alt-pop. Take another (or a first) look and you'll see they stand on their own.

NB- It's my opinion that a regional "sound" is formed by a number of bands that feed off one another's influence. If you think some of this sounds like (early) REM, remember that REM sounds like them, too. History may be written by the supergroups, but these guys were peers in (and in fact the producers of) that jangly southern sound.

Description of Cypress/Afoot

One of the biggest gaps in ?80s rock?nay, THE biggest gap?would have to be the absence on CD of R.E.M. producer and southern underground rock icon Mitch Easter?s band Let?s Active. Composed on these two albums of Easter, bassist Faye Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber, Let?s Active blended psychedelic production, bubblegum melodies and that Athens-rock jangly guitar sound to create an American answer to the new wave bands from Britain that were sweeping the country at the time. We?re thrilled to announce that we?re going to release the entire Let?s Active catalog, and here we?ve put together their 1983 EP 'Afoot' and their 1984 debut LP 'Cypress', plus two bonus tracks for a total of 20 tracks of irresistible jangle pop. Includes from 'Afoot?Every Word Means No; Make Up with Me; Edge of the World; Room with a View; In Between', and 'Leader of Men'. From 'Cypress?Easy Does; Waters Part; Lowdown; Gravel Truck; Crows on a Phone Line; Ring True; Blue Line; Flags for Everything; Prey; Co-Star; Ornamental', and 'Counting Down'. And 'Grey Scale' and 'Two Yous' are the bonus tracks. We?ve also included new liner notes?an indispensable ?80s 'Collectors? Choice Music' exclusive!
