Sunny Day Real Estate: In Circles Promo (1994)

Rarities


For those of you who actually come to this blog to read posts rather than just hijack music, you've probably noticed my affinity for folksy acoustic music. While I obviously enjoy the aforementioned genre, I feel I've misrepresented my tastes as being too one-dimensional. One of my other soft spots will always be for early emo music. There is something in its unbridled messiness and off-key singing that really appeals to me (I've probably listened to each Mineral album in excess of a thousand times). Formed in Seattle in 1992, the band Sunny Day Real Estate is widely considered one of early emo's founding fathers. Their 1994 debut Diary was released by Sub Pop to positive reviews. The band only managed a handful of releases, with the early material of Diary and Sunny Day Real Estate (ake the pink album or LP2) shining as their most accomplished work. Former band member Nate Mendel has played for Foo Fighters since 1995 and former lead singer Jeremy Enigk put out a decent solo album last year entitled The World Waits (his voice sounds way too perfect on it though). Back in 2002, the band reformed as The Fire Theft and they went on to release 2003's self-titled album (good stuff, recommended). As far as this installment of rarities, here is the radio edit of "In Circles" and the original version or "48," both songs appearing on a promo single of "In Circles." -- Capt. Obvious
