This is the group's 1993 Sub-Pop debut, and first release not put out by the band members themselves. Eric's Trip were a dreamy lo-fi punk band who took their name from a Sonic Youth song. They were part of a tight-knit scene of musicians in Halifax, Nova Scotia that generated a lot of buzz in the wake of the Seattle and grunge music explosion. Along with Sloan, Thrush Hermit and Jale they helped popularize the "Halifax" sound. Eric's Trip write short dreamy pop songs that are pure fuzzed-out bliss. Rick White and Julie Doiron's voices blend extremely well together, especially on the folkier numbers. This is one of the best albums to ever come out of Canada.
