NYCG+F has stayed in my head for a decade, even though I have rarely played it over that time. It is possibly the closest thing they ever did to a "concept album". (I accept that term makes many groan.) I remember being pissed at first....a dorky little 8 song 42min thing. (Is my memory good?) But the motherfucker grew on me real fast and has haunted me ever since. I just love the way it flows and adheres. I love that there are 4 Thurston songs and 3 Kim songs and 1 Lee (epic) song. The short songs here are brilliant too, not just throwaways or interludes. There is no fuckin Plastic Sun here. Following Washing Machine and A Thousand Leaves, two gigantic motherfuckers, it's brevity and subtlety may have been a shock to many, as it was to me at first. But this little album created waves for me which still ripple. I'm rather ripped by it.
