Sebadoh - Bubble and Scrape: Expanded

The release date falls in the middle of the band’s April / May UK dates, which include a Don’t Look Back show at London’s Koko on Wednesday 7 May, where the band will be performing the original ‘Bubble and Scrape’ album in it’s entirety. The band are also appearing at lo-fi indie’s favourite festival All Tomorrow Parties in May.
The record is available on digital format as well as deluxe CD format including a 20 page booklet. Strong traces of Sebadoh’s chaotic past course through the slaloming tumult of Bubble & Scrape, but also present is melodic and considered songcraft. Taken as a whole, ‘Bubble & Scrape’ was a refinement of the ideas and approaches that had made the earlier Sebadoh releases so beguiling. Some of the rougher edges were smoothed out, confidence and craft replacing the more frenetic sketches of the past. The scribbles and diary entries and fiery tantrums of ‘Bubble & Scrape’ find Sebadoh simultaneously at their wildest and most tender, capturing their willful chaos at its most vivid.
