Jim O'Rourke - Halfway To A Threeway 12''

[13.00EUR]

label: drag city

"Here’s another few sides of long-ago and far-away Jim O’Rourke back on vinyl for the first time since way back. It’s the ‘Halfway To A Threeway’ 12” back to set turntables a-spinnin’.

Fans of his ‘Eureka’ and ‘Insignificance’ albums (not to mention Jim’s tomfoolery as part of the Loose Fur band) will appreciate the analogue pressing of these four cuts of the pop music party- pooper combination of folk, classic rock, smooth jazz and a bit of the avant-garde to help communicate the twisted ways of the misanthrope that made Jim such a perennial in the fickle world of record sales.

A quick listen to the title track exposes our sweet soul-crusher as a lustful man-beast on the make. The song is a straight folk number. Straight, that is, until you listen through the haze of those 6 string overtones and chirpy harmony vocals to hear the true perversity of O’Rourke’s fantasies.

The whole record’s a blast, and it hasn’t really aged that much in the eleven-odd years since it first emerged."
