Bleach - Killing Time [12", LP]

This KILLING TIME LP by the band BLEACH was a pleasant (and cheap) find at last year's spring record fair in Utrecht. Until then, i only had their Snag EP in my collection. And just like that 12", this LP was something i came across by coincidence. This time i was a bit more aware of course that Bleach was actually a pretty cool band, so i was curious how this LP would sound. And i must say i wasn't disappointed at all. Ten amazing songs, of which Trip & Slide and especially Surround have become my favourites. If you don't know Bleach, but do like bands such as Sugar, Adorable or Swervedriver and could imagine them with female vocals, you should definitely check them out. You won't be let down.

By the way, where the Snag EP had a side 3 and 4, this album has a side 7 and 8. Probably they continued counting the side numbers with every new release. Funny.

Bleach - Snag EP [12"]

BLEACH is a band i vaguely remember from the videos they showed on MTV's 120 Minutes back in the early nineties. They were from Ipswich, and played indie rock with a shoegaze edge. Hard to give a good description, but think of a mix between Swervedriver and the later years of Lush. This SNAG EP is a pretty cool release that i came across at Delicious Goldfish in Solna, Sweden some time ago. Not something i was (or would be) particularly on the hunt for, but typically a record to pick up when you see it somewhere in the crates for a fair price. The song Seeing is definitely my favourite of the four. They chose to call the two sides "side 3" and "side 4" for some reason, by the way.
