Afternoon all.Today, I bring you everything by The Man I Fell In Love With, an absolutely fantastic group from Ohio that combines Shoegaze with that hard to describe post-emo sound played by bands like Mineral and Penfold.
I'm posting this because the link on Skream Your Lungs Out is dead and this is a band that I feel needs preserving, so here we go.
This collection contains everything they put out apart from the fabled demo tape from 1994, if anyone has it please hit me up.
A 7" split with a band called Noah that no one seems to know(ah) anything about :( from 1995.
Sounds like it was recorded with an empty can and a piece of string then pressed onto records made of melted milk cartons but still pretty good. (3 songs)
A 7" people tend to refer to as The Dignity Workshop (For Two) from 1996. The title track honestly sounds exactly like Power of Failing-era Mineral until the vocals kick in. (3 songs)
Finally their only full-length Dis Yourself released after their demise in 2000 by the perculiarly named Donut Fiends records, home of Harriet The Spy and TMIFILW's little brother The Party Of Helicopters. This album is wall-to-wall blissed out droney pop and contains the lastest hopeful candidate for my "best-songs-ever-tag-team" Bad Dreams. (8 songs)
I reccomend this band to anyone with even a fleeting interest in either late 90s indiemo or shoegaze.

ReplyDeleteHello my name is Jon Finley and I was the bass player/singer for TMIFILW. Im so glad you like the music. I do too. It's weird to see people talking about it now. We were only a band for a short time 94-96ish so its fun to see our name again. Thanks. The demo tape is still floating around and I do have the song from the donut friends compilation if you want it. I can dig up that demo tape too. anyhow thanks.
ReplyDeleteHey Jon, I'm interested in getting a copy of TMIFILW demo tape, I have all of the vinyl releases and I've made digital copies in the hopes of compiling a discography. If you still have the demo tape kicking around and the means to send me a digital copy, please email me at: grieflessons@gmail.com
DeleteHi Jon, lovely to hear from you. It would be amazing to hear any more material you have floating around. Thanks for the music.
