So Happy Together
Memphis' The Grifters made some of the finest recordings of Clinton-era America, with a number of albums on labels such
as Shangri-La (their second and third LPs) and then Sub Pop for their remaining two albums. Their mixture of Memphis
blues/roots influences, classic pop songwriting and lo-fi aesthetics saw them as one of the shining lights of the '90s
indie-rock scene. This a reissue of their first full-length LP, out of circulation for over two decades. Originally
released in 1992 on the Chicago indie label Sonic Noise, which ceased operations not long after the album was released
(hence many Grifters fans having never heard this very recording), The Grifters' 'So Happy Together' is an absolute
masterpiece of lo-fi slapped-together rock & roll. Less rootsy than their subsequent music, it sees the band navigating
their way through 10 sublimely inventive, non-generic rock tracks which beggar comparison. Fully remastered from the
original tapes by Mikey Young, housed in the original artwork in a heavy 425gm sleeve with an insert featuring exclusive
photos from the time and new liner notes from the band's Tripp Lamkins.
