"Solid non-novelty effort from James McNew (Dump/Yo La Tengo) and Dan Cuddy (Hypnolovewheel/something else, I'm sure). A-side manages to feature a tender cello-and-violin melody without being creepy or anything; Chilton fans who maybe wished that "Sister Lovers" had been more hook-oriented would be pleased with this... the b-side is more up-tempo and fuzz-laden, and works just as well. Scrawling 'Matador sucks' on the inner groove is a really low blow, though" - Brushback #4
I decided to take the easy way out and base this post around the review that I wrote for an old issue of Brushback because I figured I couldn't come up with anything else useful to add, even 14 years later.
I liked this single enough to where I went on a Really Fast Racecar binge not long afterwards, buying up pretty much everything in their catalog, which left me stuck with a crappy Toddler EP but some pretty good records other than that. No doubt I'll be getting to them (just in time for that Spunk Davis revival) eventually.

Loving these two tunes, man!
Yeah, this is a cool little single.
Inclined Plane could probably pull off something like this, minus the cello and violin I mean.
you're totally right.... Keith needs to check these guys out.
