#534: Pushing the Salmanilla Envelope by Jimmie's Chicken Shack
from Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock · host Dig Me Out
Bands only get to make their debut album once, but for Jimmie's Chicken Shack, a few practice swings paid off. Taking tracks from several low-profile independent releases and combining them for the 1997 major label debut means the material on Pushing the Salmanilla Envelope sounds refined and well-thought-out without being stale and lifeless. Unlike some contemporaries who relied on thick, down-tuned guitars to push their angst, JCS work in layers of intricate guitar leads that recall 1970s progressive rock or 90s math rock but with a funk metal twist. Songs In This Episode Intro - High 21:00 - Dropping Anchor 24:16 - When You Die You're Dead 33:14 - This Is Not Hell 36:02 - Milk Outro - Hole Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
