180g Audiophile Vinyl Double LP With Etched 4th Side!
Numbered, Limited Edition Silver & Black Mixed Vinyl - 2500 Copies!
The Oxford based alternative rock band Swervedriver released their third studio album Ejector Seat Reservation in 1995. Despite the little promotion and disappointing sales the album is widely considered as one of their strongest records. While listening to this record you'll hear the true quality of this hidden gem. Besides alternative rock, shoegaze and even bluesy influences are woven into their music. The fusion and variety of the songs which they recorded for this album are a little less on the shoegaze side compared to their previous two albums, Raise and Mezcal Head. Ejector Seat Reservation is the band's most complete record, best experienced as a whole.
After splitting up in 1998 Swervedriver reunited in 2008 for touring purposes. After seventeen years they released their fifth album I Wasn't Born to Lose You.
The Ejector Seat Reservation package includes a 4-page booklet and is available as a first pressing of 2,500 individually numbered copies on silver & black mixed vinyl.
"Those who thrilled over the band's badass, Stooge-ified sonic assaults might not know what to think of after a couple listens, but taken on its own context, the record ropes you in just as tightly as anything else they've done. Helping the band reach new pop heights is the expanded range of Adam Franklin's voice. Check the upper register on the Love-y acid trip 'Son of Jaguar 'E'' and the gentle, graceful croon on 'Last Day on Earth.' A T. Rex/Sweet-like shuffle pops up in the title track, with more hallucinatory lyric imagery. The vocal hook from Bacharach/David's 'Do You Know the Way to San Jose' gets cleverly nicked for 'Candy,' a song that's possibly their best fusion of overload guitars and singalong chorus. It boggles the mind how a song as powerful and melodic as 'The Birds' didn't find a home on a radio chart of any form, in any country. Swervedriver effortlessly committed this as if they had it in them all along." - AllMusic
