Fringements Two by Cheer-Accident
"Cheer-Accident is difficult to dislike" - ALL MUSIC GUIDE
Well, the bad news is... this isn’t the first of its kind; also the bad news: it won’t be the last. That’s right: you have stumbled upon the SECOND in a series featuring nothing but odd fragments of historical CHEER-ACCIDENT ephemera, which will apparently continue well into perpetuity. This particular installment has the distinction of ending with the best song ever recorded, which - on its face - would seem like it would be a positive thing, but alas: as it turns out, “the best song ever” isn’t necessarily a song you would actually want to listen to.
Once a band reaches that four-decade mark in their existence, particularly a band such as CHEER-ACCIDENT, who have travailed so much aesthetic ground during this time, you just know that they have a veritable treasure trove of flotsam and jetsam (in varying degrees of “fi”) lying around, just waiting to be turned into a whimsical encyclopedic series of semi-random aural events.
This Is That.
“Fringements Two” is the second chapter, wherein CHEER-ACCIDENT avails to the public documentation of intimate practice space encounters, obscure demos, and even some “slicker” recordings that just never found a home on any of their other releases.
NOTE:
Each glass-mastered compact disc comes complete in a matte-glosssix panel gatefold jacket- jam-packed with extensive liner notes on each and every practice space encounter, answering machine message, demo track and previously unreleased studio recording.
PRESS QUOTES:
“one of the greatest, most challenging, and most fun bands that Chicago has ever produced - and their music will always transcend genre and hype” - CHICAGO READER
“it’s impossible to say what’s going to come next - just one more thing that makes Cheer-Accident truly progressive” - BANDCAMP DAILY
