Jeffery Sez Building Rafts Out of Burnt Bridges LP
Another one of those albums I threw on without doing any research, so I’ll let you know that my first thought was “Wow, the kids really have the ’90s throwback down pat.” Turns out that— surprise—this recording is nearly 30 years old. This is like if Mark Lanegan of SCREAMING TREES sang with a little more enthusiasm and got Chad Price-era ALL to be his backing band. I’m a sucker for these Eddie Vedder baritone vocals, but I was a lot more impressed when I thought it was a bunch of people trying something “different” in the year of our lord 2025. Regardless, this is still a solid record if you’re nostalgic for the grunge era and the Clinton years.
