2. While
2 was his second official release on Captured Tracks and technically his debut full - length, it offered a more polished sound compared to
Rock And Roll Night Club. These demo recordings show the raw side of the otherwise polished tunes on
2. Lo - fi lovers will adore the kitchen - table drums and the overall murkiness of the early recording of “Cooking Up Something Good.” The sparkly guitars and tongue - click drums in “The Stars Keep On Calling My Name” and “Sherrill” bring to mind
Worn Copy - era Ariel Pink. I actually prefer these demo versions to the ones on
2. The two versions of “Dreamin'” are also top - notch. The best song title goes to the instrumental “Harrison Ford Escort,” which later became “Freaking Out The Neighborhood” on
2. Don't miss the alternate instrumental demos of “My Kind Of Woman” and “Lonely Shredder,” which were the basis for “Ode To Viceroy.” This is a limited - edition repress on seafoam green vinyl to celebrate Captured Tracks' 10th anniversary. It comes with a digital download and is limited to 5000 copies. Recommended for music fans!
