***Joe Tarowsky has played in a variety of Pittsburgh bands (Neighbours, Park Plan) and currently sits behind the drums in both Action Camp and St. Dude. Creedmoors began as a solo project, with a few Bandcamp singles and a beautiful album of guitar instrumentals (Moonlight Snaps). “Rosie Jean” was based on an idea suggested by a friend. The end result feels like XTC mixed with some Mike Watt basslines to our ears, sounding like a live band rather than a solo project.Rob Rayshich (ray-SHIK) has been a part of the Igor Records family since the beginning. His band the Minimalist Love Gods had two full-length releases on the label and the guitarist also appeared on Bone of Contention’s third album, Fun. An amazing, if unsung, guitarist, Rayshich has continued to make solo recordings in his basement studio, combining his love of psychedelia, layers of odd strings and percussion, progressive rock grandeur and the immediacy of lo-fi.In some ways, both of these songs might be comparable to the music that came out of New Zealand’s underground of the late ’70s/early ’80s, Creedmoors acting as the Chills to PGM’s Tall Dwarves. Or maybe that’s just a clever way to appeal to vinyl fanatics.
