Enjoy this collection from one of the most often overlooked amazing indie
bands. They ruled"A wise man once said, sometimes you gotta say what the fuck, make your
move saying what the fuck brings freedom. Carissas Wierd took those
words to heart. Over the course of three studio albums and several
cross-country tours, that WTF spirit informed their every move, yielding some
of the most distinctive music to emerge from Seattle, anthologized for the
first time on Theyll Only Miss You When You Leave: Songs 19962003. For a
band that played so softly, Carissas Wierd generated a hell of a buzz. We
never intended to be as quiet as we were, says co-founder Jenn Ghetto. The
hushed volumes that became a stylistic trademark were one of the earliest
outcomes of that WTF attitude. As teenagers in Tucson, AZ, Ghetto and Mat
Brooke met at a Goth club. Soon they were writing songs together on twenty
dollar guitars, plugged into cereal box-sized amplifiersdefinitely not the
kind that go to 11. They worked around their limitations. All the early
recording we ever did was in her moms closet on a cheap four track,
remembers Brooke. Wed have to be quiet, because her Grandma was sleeping
As the band grew, that WTF spirit manifested itself in an attitude that
prized musical ambition over perceived aptitude. Who was to say they couldnt
have brass or strings on their songs? Having developed their compositional
styles in tandem, Brooke and Ghetto had a unique rhythmic sensibility that
wasnt easily shoehorned into conventional time signatures. Maybe thats why
we went through so many drummers, says Brooke. (Among those behind the kit
was future Sub Pop recording artist Sera Cahoone, one of several notables for
whom Carissas Wierd served as a training ground.) At the center of the
maelstrom, Carissas Wierd never quite grasped the ardor of their fans. Long
out of print, their full-lengths, Ugly But Honest (1999), You Should Be At
Home Here (2001), and Songs About Leaving (2002) all became collectors
items, as did the compilations I Before E and Scrap Bookall of which are
represented here (with vinyl reissues of the three studio albums
forthcoming). Now neophytes and diehards alike can hear what the excitement
was about. In celebration, the band even intends to play a one-off reunion
show. Thats something both Ghetto and Brooke thought would never occur but
sometimes you just gotta say what the fuckTrack List —————————————————————-
