CAUSTIC RESIN VINYL REISSUE RELEASE PARTY Q&A AND PERFORMANCE 10/27

October 26, 2016 - Live Shows , Live@RX , The Record Exchange Blog , The Vinyl Word - by - No Comments

large_550_tmp_2f1469059163565-laruithd9av4wxr9-533b81d425361803e32f8aec827295fd_2fcausticThe Record Exchange (1105 W. Idaho St. in Downtown Boise) will host a Caustic Resin vinyl reissue release party Q&A and performance at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27. Caustic Resin is celebrating the re-release of The Medicine is All Gone with a special concert at The Olympic on Friday, Oct. 28 and we have tickets for sale at the store. As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages!

The evening will kick off with a Q&A with the band about The Medicine is All Gone, followed by a performance. The vinyl will be available for purchase at the event. The local version includes an insert with artwork by Boise artist Noble Hardesty.

ABOUT CAUSTIC RESIN AND ‘THE MEDICINE IS ALL GONE’

“I was obsessed with this record when it was first released and it still blows my mind — a forgotten classic of American underground rock” — Mark Lanegan

“Caustic Resin made a bunch of great f***ing records and The Medicine Is All Gone was one of their best. The riff (and everything else) of the lead track ‘Cable’ is from one of the finest songs not only of 1998, but ever. You need this record.” — Dylan Carlson (Earth)

Caustic Resin announce the deluxe reissue of their celebrated 1998 album The Medicine is All Gone. Recorded in 1998 with engineer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, Built To Spill), the album was a highpoint both sonically and in terms of songwriting in the 15 year career of the Boise rock trio. Initially released on Alias Records, after many years of the album’s high repute passing, largely by word of mouth, the calls and campaigns for this landmark album to be released on vinyl have finally been heeded.

Even after over a decade and a half The Medicine Is All Gone still sounds remarkable. The album is an intoxicating ride through the heaviest of psychedelic trips, its avalanche of layered guitars cascading into fathomless waters of calm respite before the white knuckle ride rises again and again. Its vocals and lyrics sound as though they are the last gasp scream uttered by a man who stands at the precipice of his own mortality. And indeed he might have been.

Caustic Resin vocalist/guitarist Brett Netson is also a longtime member of indie rock heroes Built To Spill and currently plays in drone legends Earth as well as fronting his own Brett Netson and Snakes.
