โ€œOpening up these tape boxes was like looking into an old journal or datebook โ€” I had forgotten most of this happened at all, but it only took a few quick details to put me right back in the drum seat,โ€ says Krukowski. โ€œThere are songs from all the Galaxie 500 recording sessions included here.โ€

โ€œThere is a sweetness in hearing the progression of us finding our own sound, our own collective voice. The Proustian power of music,โ€ adds Yang. โ€œListening to these early recordings I can hear myself figuring out how I wanted to play bass โ€“- finding my way up the neck to where the notes would cut through, where there could be a counter-melody to the singing. Making the bass my singing voice.โ€
