Bedspring Kiss

Ok, from the 80s archive comes one of the more underrated, unsung bands:  Jellyfish.  Between the end of New Wave and the Pre-Grunge era came these alt-rock wonderkids from SF.  The composition of the songs were interesting and layered.  There was a surprising complexity to the songs, outside of the surreal lyrics given.

Bedspring Kiss highlighted both of these areas well.   From the mandolin, the hammond organ, the really present upright bass contributing to the low end, to the undulating, slow vocals, this song represented the California alt-rock scene really well.

Finally, I'm going to give you another one, probably one of their more recognizable songs.  Pretty standard rock beat, nice harmonies, easily memorizing lyrics.   Also from the album "BellyButton," comes I Wanna Stay Home


Happy Saturday everyone!  Enjoy your Zombie Jesus day (or whatever holiday you want to celebrate).
