St. Taking Too Long
Portland, Oregon - 1981
from the album Youth of America
There's not an ounce of fat on this track. Every note counts.
The piano thunders away -low in the mix. St. Philomena says that's the best part.
Kurt Cobain, citing Youth of America as one of his favourite records, wrote,
"They're one of the bands I tried to assimilate. Their songs were so good. Greg Sage was pretty much the romantic, quiet, visionary kind of guy. What more can I say about them? They started Seattle grunge rock in Portland, 1977."
