Cypress / Afoot

One of the biggest gaps in €80s rock€"nay, THE biggest gap€"would have to be the absence on CD of R.E.M. producer and southern underground rock icon Mitch Easter€s band Let€s Active. Composed on these two albums of Easter, bassist Faye Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber, Let€s Active blended psychedelic production, bubblegum melodies and that Athens-rock jangly guitar sound to create an American answer to the new wave bands from Britain that were sweeping the country at the time. We€re thrilled to announce that we€re going to release the entire Let€s Active catalog, and here we€ve put together their 1983 EP 'Afoot' and their 1984 debut LP 'Cypress', plus two bonus tracks for a total of 20 tracks of irresistible jangle pop. Includes from 'Afoot€"Every Word Means No; Make Up with Me; Edge of the World; Room with a View; In Between', and 'Leader of Men'. From 'Cypress€"Easy Does; Waters Part; Lowdown; Gravel Truck; Crows on a Phone Line; Ring True; Blue Line; Flags for Everything; Prey; Co-Star; Ornamental', and 'Counting Down'. And 'Grey Scale' and 'Two Yous' are the bonus tracks. We€ve also included new liner notes€¦an indispensable €80s 'Collectors€ Choice Music' exclusive!
