Description
NM Copy - still in shrink and with poster / sticker & inners Much more disjointed than their previous effort, every song on this record is full of pull-and-release tension. It contains everything from fleet-fingered, pseudo-southern guitar lines ("Coming Back to Damnit") to a song in which U.S. Maple sounds like a nightmarish rock band at a carnival gone wrong ("Through with Six Six Six"). Strange funk interplays with abrupt drum fills, restrained whoops and hollers by Johnson, and brittle, shaking guitars ("Songs That Have No Making Out," "Missouri Twist"). One of their best albums.
Chicago independent record label Skin Graft took notice of the band and signed them on in the fall of that year. Shortly afterwards, the label released the "Stuck" single. Later in the same year, U.S. Maple stepped into Solid Sound Studios at Hoffman Estates in Illinois. It was there that they recorded their first full-length album, Long Hair in Three Stages, with renowned indie producer Jim O'Rourke. The record was released in October 1995. Before the band would go into the studio to work on their follow-up, they recorded a new single, as well as a contribution for a tribute album. Released on the Sonic Bubblegum imprint in early 1996, the band tackled and disfigured the 1961 Dion & the Belmonts' hit "The Wanderer." It was backed by a new original entitled "Whoa Complains." Then, in May of that same year, they re-recorded the AC/DC song "Sin City" for a tribute album on Skin Graft. U.S. Maple appeared alongside other Chicago bands like Shellac and Big'n. In early 1997, the group stepped back into Solid Sound Studios once again with the help of O'Rourke. What resulted was Sang Phat Editor, released in June.
