Roadmouth is The Fluid's third album, originally released in 1989 and now back on vinyl. The Fluid are arguably the great unsung band from the fertile underground rock scene of the late '80s and early '90s. From Denver!
Jessica Pratt's gorgeous second record plays like acoustic dream-pop, with a warm, home-recorded atmosphere—finger-picked psychedelia, lucidly layered harmonies, hissy tape effects, an overcast haze—more dramatic and distinctive than her debut.
Gold Medal marks a move away from The Donnas' harder/faster ethos towards a more polished (acoustic guitars…whaaat?) pop sound veering towards '70s psychedelia under the helm of Avril Lavigne producer Butch Walker.
