about

YOU FANTASTIC!'s one and only "album" (following two earlier EPs). Recorded all over - over 4 years. If post-rock's your bag, we've got the inhalants. YF! is post-band. Thymme Jones, Darin Gray and Tim Garrigan (of renowned acts such as Dazzling Killmen, Brise-Glace and Cheer Accident) pal up to create an album that simultaneously soars and plummets.

The assemblage takes the college radio kids back to Brise-Glace's "When In Vanitas", but Thymme and Darin keep saying "Speechless"-era Fred Frith and Herb Alpert. No matter what, You'll say Fantastic.

22 tracks over 70 minutes.

FUN FACT(S): As the deadline loomed, Thymme Jones raced against the clock to finish compiling and mixing the album. Thymme brought the master over only to find that the SKiN GRAFT stereo system was on the blink, and in an inspired moment of improvisation, a cassette player was lined into the SG stereo television for a midnight listening session.

One of the coolest bands from my hometown, this record is a quick ride through cerebral and dare I say, FUN noise/math rock. Do yourself a favor and give these guys your money, they deserve it. GodIsChad

CAMP SKiN GRAFT: Now Wave

supported by 6 fans who also own “Homesickness”

I felt like I needed this, not so much that I'd like it. Now Wave rescues the 90's, makes it actually strange, dangerous and often unpalatable. The alternative to 'Alternative *TM.' Buy it for all your silly friends who think you're reminiscing about Alice In Chains when you talk about the 90's. It will shut them the fuck up. albinobone

Amazing music! There is something indescribable and very special about this band. Their discography is a huge, multidimensional puzzle that is so rewarding to piece together. This album is a great place to start. Awesome that the vinyl includes the CD! Brad Hebert
