Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by Spiral Stairs immediately following his departure from the legendary Pavement, this debut album heavily retains that band's signature, off-kilter slacker aesthetic. 'All This Sounds Gas' is a remarkably catchy, lo-fi collection of jangling indie rock heavily flavored with warm, alternative country sensibilities.
