Aaiiee- Folly
2017 release. Aaiiee is the name, pronounced as a guttural scream. Folly is the second album by a band that debuted in 1981 at a gig with Seattle legends the Fastbacks and the U-men - a proud follow-up their 2012 tribute to the 1962 World's Fair, See You In Seattle. Folly is an eclectic offering, with songs ranging from barn-recorded smash rockers like "Keep Clam" (a tribute to "Old Seattle" icon Ivar Haglund) to the dreamy psyche-jazz-prog of the epic title tune. However, there is no song stranger than the opener "The Sportsman" a psychotic angling tale with a monster fish inside a grain silo. Not now. Not ever. So beautiful. Aaiiee has performed at innumerable dive bars and appeared on a bunch of fine comps and proudly presents their second album in 35 years.
Tracklist:
- The Sportsman
- Keep Clam
- Pink Moon
- Crosseyed Captain
- Last Temptation Of Lar
- Look At The Door
- Feng Shui
- Hüsker's Guiding Who
- Phloom
- Here Come The Ducks
- Mystify Me
- Folly
