BEDHEAD 'WHATFUNLIFEWAS' LP (Powder White Vinyl)

LABEL: Numero Group
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 11/11/2014
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1994
VARIANT: Powder White Vinyl LP

Their shambolic 1994 debut, remastered from the original tapes and presented in lavish, gatefold form. A mix of restrained loud and purposeful quiet, WhatFunLifeWas’s eleven tracks unfold at a marathon runner’s pace, picking up speed when necessary, but its eye on completing a personal race. Singer Matt Kadane’s soft, semi-drawl is buried in the mix, letting brother Bubba and Tench Coxe’s guitars weave cleanly around drummer Trini Martinez’s all-ride-all-the-time timekeeping.
