Down With People - Down With People

Label : Circularphile Records / Nadirean Extensions - NE002
Country : US
Year : 1990
Format : LP
That isn't how the Lambchop song goes, but I digress. Here today is a hidden, er, thing from the NYC underground. Not quite the Shimmy-Disc gem, but it's serviceable and might just grow on you and me. Horticulture.

Down With People (or DWP, not sure if they are the same) are an elusive little band, I can hardly find a peep about them on the internet. Does that make me a pioneer? Sons of Pioneers?
I dunno.
Sonically, this reminds me of the Fibonaccis. That's high praise, I love the Fibonaccis. Fibonaccis interspersed into the Downtown music scene seems money to me; something is missing however, it's not a golden ratio. Some sort of "indie" inflection throws me for a loop a bit, might be bias. Avant aspects lacking, but that's me being pretentious. I prefer to be portentous, respectively.

  2. Funny that you compare them to Fibonaccis, because I like the Fibonaccis, I want to love the Fibonaccis, but something stops me, like apparently you are stopped from loving DWP. For me with the Fibonaccis, it's something like sterility. (But I like them still.)

    1. I can see what you mean. The thing with the Fibonaccis is their theatrical flair really wins me over, in spite of some chintzy escapades. Same reason I love the Legendary Pink Dots, too. The things I write here are usually based on first (or second, on ripping and tagging) impression, I'll give it an opportunity to grow on me as time goes on.
