(Lead track "Paper Valentines" manages to sound like Bob Mould singing a Grant Hart tune.) I got halfway through it on Spotify before deciding to upgrade to a permanent download. If you were swayed by any of my foaming-at-the-mouth over the Capstan Shafts, know thou that they are reborn as Loud Springs. *slightly* higher-fi, more sophisticated arrangements, and a touch less sloppy. Still marvelous. ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V10 #115 ********************************
