Title: State Songs (Black Friday Exclusive) Condition: New Format: Vinyl EAN: 0888072119710 Description: Limited to 2,000 copies worldwide, and pressed on green-marbled vinyl, this 20th-anniversary reissue marks John Linnell's State Songs' first availability on wax. Did you know that Montana once was a leg? According to State Songs, it was. As one half of They Might Be Giants, John Linnell is known for his surreal lyricism and absurdist alt-rock. Linnell brought those qualities - plus a myriad of melodic styles - to his debut full-length, State Songs. Originally released in 1994 as a five-song EP, Linnell expanded upon the collection of songs for a 15-track full-length, released five years later. Employing a variety of instrumentation, including a carousel organ, accordion, alto saxophone and even a DustBuster to transport listeners on a tour across the United States, Linnell offers amusing, fictional tales and dubious facts in these offbeat anthems. AllMusic praised that Linnell "Masters every stylistic leap he takes; the tunes are all united by the catchy-as-the-clap melodies. You're guaranteed to be continually amazed by the inventiveness and sheer beauty of his melody lines."
