Idaho - Three Sheets To The Wind | 90s Album Review

The slowcore sound can be simplified down to tempo and a minimalist approach, but like every genre or subgenre of rock music, there are always those pushing the boundaries and reinventing. On the 1996 album Three Sheets To The Wind by Idaho, the boundary pushing comes as a pair of straight-up rock songs that wouldn't sound out place on a Dinosaur Jr. or Heatmiser album. From there, the band adds jazzy and soulful elements - brushed drums here, an electric piano there - paired with Jeff Martin's evocative vocal that falls somewhere between the folky sadcore of American Music Club's Mark Eitzel and the more experimental post-rock of Low's Alan Sparhawk.   Songs In This Episode Intro - If You Dare 18:18 - A Sound Awake 23:03 - Shame 30:08 - Alive Again 34:00 - Pomegranate Bleeding Outro - Catapult   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
