The aesthetic at the time was basically an embrace of primitivism. Technical know how was actively disdained in favor of abject expressionism. The context was the hardcore scene, but it was Olympia, so there was some kind of hermetic awareness that could be read as art. This record shows the side of the band that was least afraid of what people thought. The tapes were for friends, there was no outside audience yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emanation cassette was recorded by four track cassette wizard Adam Croce (from Broken Strings) at Carrie's dad (Chunk's) house during the summer. “We thought he was insane because he made us do multiple takes.” Reuben Storey of the death metal band Funerot was the drummer and played a role in arranging the songs. The tape had space on it that an LP didn't. The self-titled cassette was recorded in various spots throughout Olympia—mostly the slummy abandoned office building where every band practiced downtown and was mixed at the double wide where Carrie did work trade shoveling out horse stables for rent, Weeping Willow Ranch. Daniel Swire joined on drums after Reuben slid back into metal world; his style was more subtle. “The band got weirder and the tape got worked so much it started to bleed through. There was confusion throughout but a pretty consistent focus on the songs, a process that trans- lated as vibe.” Enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastered by Tim Green at Louder Studios in early 2026, Pressed on 180g black vinyl with heavy Stoughton “Tip-On” jackets with a cardstock printed inner sleeve. 500 copies pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog number:\u003c\/strong\u003e LG 14\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/strong\u003e 711574989010\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L.G.
