I wasn't too familiar with the band SMASHING ORANGE, i must confess. I bought this single some time ago, to save on the postage for some other things that i bought online. They were an American band that was described in the NME as "Mudhoney meets My Bloody Valentine". Indeed it's an interesting mix of grunge and shoegaze, leaning a bit more towards the shoegaze side. Besides My Bloody Valentine i hear some influences from fellow Americans Medicine. This MY DERANGED HEART single was their debut release, and wah-pedals were probably their favourite gear since they were used abundantly. A pretty cool release!
