mp3 :: Rodan > Darjeeling
Emerging from the same Louisville post-hardcore scene that spawned Squirrel Bait and Slint, Rodan reportedly formed in 1992 out of a failed high school rap project. The band maintained a serious cult following over the years and now fans of their only LP, Rusty, should get excited.
On June 11th, Quarterstick Records will release Fifteen Quiet Years, a collection of Rodan recordings including a 1994 BBC Peel session together with out-of-print 7 Inch and compilation tracks.
Back in 2009, Jeff Mueller and Jason Noble of Rodan remastered the tracks with help from Bob Weston (of Volcano Suns and Shellac) at his Chicago Mastering Service. Here is a track off the Inclined Plane 7 Inch.
Listen.
Downloadable: Darjeeling (mp3)
Fifteen Quiet Years will be available for purchase @ quarterstickrecords.com. All formats of the album will include a digital download of 10 bonus live recordings.
