GERALD BURKHART - you broke my backbone 7"

“From the northern reaches of Michigan's lower peninsula, GERALD BURKHART showed up on our radar during a freshman year political science class at Wayne State. He had painted a mod target of the Who on his army surplus jacket. We didn't get the nerve to say hi to him until we saw him at a Foo Fighters show. This was ten years ago. Gerald has since bounced across the country finding work where he can. Last we heard he was in New Mexico. These two songs, with vocal inflection borrowed from Tom Waits and acoustic guitar style from Neil Young, are lonesome and depressing in a weird way that actually makes you feel good. Hand-stamped covers, limited to 200 copies.”—Ben Blackwell
