Followed By Static

back to profile

"Followed by Static pressed 100 white vinyl 7-inches on Rare Dust Records, and their eventual collectibility correlates directly to the Austin duo's breakout with "Lullaby" b/w "AADC." The A-side illustrates why 45s were conceived in the first place, a plaintive Vaselines-like melody thickened by My Bloody Valentine distortion and strummed against a squall. The vocal could be off a Clash demo in terms of its long ago, faraway sonic London fog. B-side "AADC" would hold its own against a Black Angels' Vietnam protest..." -- Raoul Hernandez, The Austin Chronicle
