about

The very first time I heard The Raincoats was on a pirate radio station in the bay area. It was around midnight in 2006 I think, and I was driving to a show at The Knockout when their cover of The Kinks' "Lola" came on and took my breath away. This was in the early 2000s when Shazam (or even iphones) didn't exist, so my band and I sat in the car waiting for the DJ to tell us who made that wonderful sound. When they finally told us, I wrote it down and couldn't wait to go and find more of their music. I quickly became a huge fan, and it wasn't long before I added a violin player to my own, band at the time, Agent Ribbons. A few years later, Kill Rock Stars announced pre-orders for a Raincoats reissue. I was very broke in those days and seldom purchased brand new vinyl records. Most of my record collection had been fished out of the $1 bins of Amoeba Records, and I had definitely never pre-ordered anything before! But I was so proud to purchase and own this release and have listened to it countless times over the years.

"Adventures Close to Home" is such a fun, affirmative romp of a song that, to me, is about proudly and assuredly owning one's own journey and allowing yourself to take risks and make mistakes in the interest of personal growth.
