would have YIS a few notches ahead of it now, but fuck me what a formative experience this record was

I was thinking about doing a Pixies vs Mercury Rev poll a few weeks back but didn't have the time. I do think however that YIS/Boces might be a better one-two punch than SR/Doolittle

It's on my Patreon -- and subscriber-only -- but I've just put up a transcription of an interview I did with Jonathan Donahue back after Boces was first released.

Think its pretty great ap0art from Girlfren.1st lp by an active band as opposed to a bunch of individuals coming in to record over each other at different times.& I do love the general sound, I think the Caribou Vibration Ensemble touch on something similar on the live lp that came out with Swim.Wish there was more of it. & I need to make sure that my early live sets are still on a usable hard drive.

It's their best album imo. I love the unhinged creepiness of "Girlfren"

They never took down a Boces poster from the front window of my local record shop after it was released. Being about 12 at the time, always wondered what the hell it was, perhaps some kind of rave record
