THE SORT OFs: Anxiety on Parade (CD)

"It’s rare for a band to come out of the gate with a debut as impressive and confident." - Portland Tribune THE SORT OFs aimed to make a kind of personal political music in the era of George W Bush and the dawn of his perpetual wars.  At the heart of most of these songs is a bashing keyboard & drums duo. Then we added a bunch of harmonies, raw guitar, and the occasional orchestral flourish. 15 years later, I'm still really proud of this record.  We had a lot going for us — momentum, youth, volume. Not sure why I decided to shift gears and favor my singer-songwriter path. It wasn't like the world was lacking in white dudes with acoustic guitars.  Back then I loosely planned for there to be a second SORT OFs album. There never was. This is our lone little etch upon the past.  Package includes: Hi-quality CD in Jewel Case Design and layout by Tim Huggins Multi-page lyric booklet A hidden track (remember those?)
