Below, listen to two selections from the new album, “Shout down” and “I want to live.”
Galaxie 500 recorded only three studio albums: Today (1988), On fire (1989), and This is our music (1990). “Shout You Down” comes from the band's sessions for Todaywhile “I Wanna Live” was made at the same time as On fire.
“I can understand why we left some of these songs in the vaults,” Galaxie 500 singer and guitarist Dean Wareham said in a statement, “but it's a joy to hear them today. they sound very live, like the Galaxie 500 playing in the brick-walled room that was Noise New York.”
Bassist Naomi Yang added, “There's a sweetness to hearing the evolution of finding our own sound, our own collective voice. The Proustian power of music. Listening to those early recordings, I can hear myself figuring out how I wanted to play the bass – finding my way up the neck to where the notes would go, where there could be a counter-melody to the song. To make the bass my singing voice.”
