2. A Canadian rock band
1. Galaxie 500 was an American alt-rock band that formed in Cambridge, MA in 1987 and split up in 1991 after releasing three albums.
The band comprised vocalist/guitarist Dean Wareham (a transplanted New Zealand native), bassist Naomi Yang and drummer Damon Krukowski, longtime friends who first met in high school in New York City before all three attended Harvard University. Read more on Last.fm
on “Today” and “On Fire” they sounded like bright-eyed college students making music for an imagined, disillusioned, hyper-educated, and drunk audience. here, it sounds like they became that audience after spending too much time with one another, and try in vain to make music for their past selves. on the surface this album sounds emotionally thin but it’s not for lack of effort. they were at the end of their rope. highly recommend this album and all of this band’s music.
