Introducing
Lemon (2003) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
This one might even include the kitchen sink...
Introducing Lemon is a 74-minute epic work that covers so much
stylistic ground (and does it so effortlessly and insidiously)
that it would almost lead one to believe that the whole idea
of musical categorization is entirely fictional (which, of course
it is). |

The
Why Album (1994) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
This much anticipated (by whom?) fourth release by CHEER-ACCIDENT
is their pop album, which contains 14 songs of an unrelenting
tunefulness that had only been hinted at in previous releases. |

Not
A Food (1996) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
In case you were missing some of the CHEER-ACCIDENT dissonance,
distortion, and daredevil rhythmic ideas (no doubt OD-ing on
the melodicism of The Why Album) this is their Rock Update.
Comparable to their (until recently) long out of print (unless
you count the Neat Metal version, which doesn’t count)
Dumb Ask CD in terms of its aggression, but with a much richer
sonic palette. Adeptly engineered by Steve Albini. |

Salad
Days (2000) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
It’s the post-premature graphic depression with its frail
falsetto forever unforewarning while unforeseeing the dissonance
of density and rhythmic perplexity foreshadowing the resultant
insomnia that amnesia forgot to Charles I’ves got to tell
ya:
THESE ARE THE SALAD DAYS! |

Enduring
The American Dream
(1997) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
CHEER-ACCIDENTS’s sixth full-length is a densely-structured
72 minute work which utilizes a variety of instruments and musical
approaches while retaining a cohesive aesthetic integrity. Certainly
their most ambitious endeavor up to this point, Enduring was
recorded over a five-year period and contains fourteen pieces
that range from lo-fi pop to carefully constructed noise collages
to extended-form rock compositions. |

Babies
Shouldn’t Smoke (1993) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
Dissonant, dark, abrasive, impossibly rhythmic with (un)healthy
doses of mental illness at every turn. This is CHEER-ACCIDENT’s
third release and is a perfectly unsettling blend of Chicago
sludge and European noise rock. Worth the price for the full-color
packaging alone, which features the beautiful and disturbed
work of Chicago Artist Linda Wiley. |

Dumb
Ask (1991) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
Finally back in stock! This is CHEER-ACCIDENT at their most
stripped-down and aggressive. Recorded in November ‘89
(in Steve Albini’s charmed basement studio) before Nirvana’s
Nevermind and Slint’s Spiderland, Dumb Ask serves as a
vital historical document placing CHEER-ACCIDENT in a sort of
“alternative to the alternative” parallel universe
which existed concurrently to the more “above ground”
bands of the early ‘90’s. |

Younger
than You are Now (2004) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
Also known as CHEER-ACCIDENT ‘81-’84, as that is
when all of these recordings took place. Yes, those were the
formative years... In other words: We were in (and/or just out
of) high school when we made this stuff, so give us a break!

You
Fantastic! - Riddler CDep $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
Tim Garrigan. Darin Gray. Thymme Jones. An organic and insidious
piece of deconstruction. Challenging, intelligent, and methodical,
but certainly not lacking in visceral impact. Sometimes it’s
even quite... funny. |

Brise-Glace
7” $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas
After a long dry spell, we now have the original Brice-Glace
7”in stock again. The birth of Post-Rock? Maybe. We’d
have to consult a rock historian about that one. In any
case, it must be the beginning of something ‘cause
these distorted multi-drumbeat grooves that get enhanced
and/or obliterated by otherworldly sonic bliss sure are
a good time. Features Dylan Posa, Darin Gray, Thymme Jones,
and Jim O’Rourke.
