Editorial Reviews

"Left-field, left-of-the-dial, post-ironic cultural fun. Pop? Pardody? Both, of course. Welcome to the Nineties." - Christopher Gray, The Austin Chronicle "Like a three-year-old butt-bare in the yard diving through the lawn sprinkler, it's a joyful experience, one that's strangely appealing in a crossover rock/country way. Such wide-eyed innocence hasn't permeated so deeply into rock since the early days of the Modern Lovers, and the two genres often mesh here in a way that would do the Byrds proud. The Orange Mothers' sense of humor and ability to rock your socks off is proudly on display." - Ken Lieck, The Austin Chronicle "Like Half Japanese and Daniel Johnston, The Orange Mothers plunge, wide-eyed and unironic, into the rabbit hole of childhood memories and wake-and-bake daydreams and pull up pop gold, authentic, confidently amateurish music that is entirely devoid of rockstar posturing, show-offy guitar wankery, and hip snootiness, like a kid making a fort out of the season's first snow and forgetting about anything else except how cool it's going to be to invite his friends inside." - Will Sheff (Okkervil River), Audiogalaxy

The Orange Mothers stuff is great, but I am searching for the original albums from the Hollywood Indians in Vermont. It's some of my absolute favorite music from the 80's. Is it available somewhere?!? Desperately Seeking Hollywood Indians.

An Austin treasure. Saw Ethan Ezarian stomping foot pedals one night at Stubb's and became an absolute MOTHERS fanatic. Nothing preconceived about any of this. Silly (but heartwarming) lyrics behind a wall of sound that will knock you off your feet. Really. If you aren't lucky to own a copy of TRADITIONAL LOVE, PLANE CRASH CITY, or BIG BLUE HOUSE (there are probably others I don't know of) this compilation will at least give you an idea of what they are all about.
