Civic Mimic 'Deep Clean' lathe 7 inch (Dromedary Records)

This is a solo record by Jeff of NJ band, Glazer. I don't know what he plays in Glazer bc every time I have gone to see Glazer, th' room is so packed i can't see who's doing what; but for this record Jeff played it all. Bass, gtr, drums, sax and vox. This record is further evidence that Jeff takes his cues from early 90s indie acts. I can hear Green Day (1st two), Fugazi and firehose. The rumor is that th' lathe seven version of these tracks feature an alternate 'less guitars' mix, which, in my opinion, gives these tunes a janglier sound. Nice effect. Civic Mimic, is standing on th' shoulders of giants, but he also holds his head high while up there. Sweet jams for th' pop punk show at th' ghost coffee shop downtown, that survives in th' memories of veteran scenesters.
