Jorrell : A Port Elizabeth Brahmin
January 25, 2006
How
indie can indie get? It used to be that indie meant you put
something out using a Tascam or similiar four track using a radioshack
low definition tape you bought for 99¢ at some garage sale. It
meant you created the recording in a tiny room by yourself or with a
guy you knew old enough to buy beer at the local Chevron. It
meant that you would create copies one by one on your dual deck tape
recorder and package it with covers designed at the local Kinko’s (or
if you are truly old school at the corner deli where copies were
5¢). But Today Indie is a genre, a culture where even the likes
of Geffen or Sony can put out bands labeled as such through any number
of their baby-labels lurking about.
Well, here below is
some indie you may never have heard but it was originally recorded and
put out by the now defunct Mermaid Records out of Santa Rosa, CA.
Here is Jorrell from the anthology A Port Elizabeth Brahmin:
Jorrell : Harvey’s Milk
Jorrell : Silent Film
Jorrell : Home is Where I Live
Jorrell : Avatar
Jorrell : Change it Please
Jorrell : Item Line Vito
Jorrell : Coming
