Rating: The Archers Of Loaf navigated that indie/lo-fi chaos that Sebadoh and Pavement had breached with their distortions, adding that '90s orgcore touch.
We are faced with the first single from 1992, the sound is still devoid of the mighty mids of Icky Mettle but we perceive the compactness: South Carolina is that mix between the rhythm section of Dinosaur Jr., the guitars of Superchunk, and Malkmus's voice, but the main course is definitely the version of Wrong.
Wrong is that song you listen to endlessly during a medium-distance journey: artificial harmonics breaking over a Pixies bass line, a bridge that recalls the more melodic Dischord, and the whispered passage that explodes even in the least sincere hearts; and then the restart... That restart blows on my heart and cries for revenge for all those times I want to recreate something powerful, raw, painful.
A piece from the '90s (in its album version and with a music video) that was snubbed and deserved fame in the midst of the alternative revolution. A pity.
