You better love Lance Hahn!
J Church have been releasing record after record all through the nineties, giving us some of the smartest and catchiest indie-punk-pop ever. And they still keep on doing it! Now relocated to Austin, and a four piece for the first time ever, the band just keeps touring and recording, like always.
Love Boat had the privilege of putting out a record by J Church, and it still honours us. You might say the band has releases on millions of other labels. We will say there are still billions without J Church in their catalog.
The title-track appears with an alternate mixing on the "One Mississippi" double album, and it's a brilliant pop gem with a definite '80s flavour (and Adam Pfahler from jawbreaker is playing drums!). The other two tracks are unreleased and exclusive to this release: "Closing time in an early town" is 100% J Church and "Harvest" is a lo-fi acoustic cover of the Neil Young classic.
