Good forgotten band that was formed by ex-members of this era (85-90) Screaming Trees/Soundgarden:

'Invisible Lantern' and 'Even If and Especially When' have gotten some plays in the last few months. I really love the raunchy sound of these early Screaming Trees LPs. The production and guitar sounds gives it a sheen not unlike some psych/garage of the 60s.
Their later records were still psychedelic influenced but the sound was more contemporary.

Yeah, I was surprised when i was first listening to that Invisible Lantern SSt compi how much they sounded like a 60s band.I think I saw them in '88 or '89 at the LSE. Probably 89.& do really love taht early 70s stoner vibe of the 90s lps, great stuff.

have you heard Gary Lee Conner's solo stuff? It's still deeply rooted in the early Screaming Trees psych sound.

Even If is probs my favourite of the 80s LPs. Cold Rain!!

psych/garage of the 60s.
I love the way they definitely have that influence but they're not like slavish imitators. Found a copy of Invisible Lantern in a thrift store and by the end of the first listen I was in love.

there's a great bootleg of a radio show from the 80s out there where they cover Cream songs and The Doors' The End.

I bought Gary Conner's new album directly from him via bandcamp and he packed it like shit. It came looking like a potato chip. Come on man!

I realized I had never heard Last Words, was shocked to see the CD versions of it are going for over $71 on Discogs. It this still price-gouging after Lanegan's death? Or was this always pretty limited?

Price-gouging, but also it was on Barrett Martin's own label, so was a pretty limited release. It's good though.

This was cut for an aborted album between Sweet Oblivion and Dust but didn't get a release until a Trees comp on Sony that Mark and the band were involved in (following a cash-in Sony comp they weren't involved it that sucked). I think it's pretty great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkSpQPqfa44

This fucked me up a fair bit. I didn’t know he’d apparently been horribly ill for over a year.
Love the Trees. They could swing.
