Album of the Day

Always Almost, by Still (1997): Following up on more once more from the other day (quite a bit of conceptual continuity this week) is the other project that came from the ashes of echolyn when that band split in 1996. The trio of Ray Weston (bass/vox), Brett Kull (guitar/vox), and Paul Ramsey (drums) pursued a much grungier straight ahead sound than echolyn did. To be honest, I wasn't really wild about this disc when it came out and still (ha ha) can't work up a lot of love for it. But it has grown on me and I can definitely see some of echolyn Phase II in there.
