Search - Strapping Fieldhands :: Discus

Memphis most beloved record label, Shangri-la Projects, turns 50-releases-old February 15th, 2010, with the 1st ever cd issue of the Strapping Fieldhands Discus. Voted one of the top 10 albums (remember those?) you never heard in 1994 by Spin magazine, Discus enigmatic & beautiful sounds have never before been heard in digital splendor on cd until now--remastered & refined to an unbelievable apex of sonic bliss. While maneuvering the same early 1990 s lo-fi indie minefields as Pavement, the Grifters, Thinking Fellars Union Local 282, & Guided by Voices, Philadelphia's Strapping Fieldhands' 1st full-length record had no antecedent work to relate or compare. Part skiffle-influenced, part long-lost pop-field-recordings-from-the-1930s that never existed, Discus will please and thrill the ears of any discerning music fan. Check out why Bob Malloy and his bevy of record-loving madmen are considered some of the wildest American songsters of all time. Truly, the world has heard nothing like Strapping FieldhandsDiscus until now.
