DESCRIPTION :

Newly remastered and pressed on White vinyl, the sophomore album from the collaboration of Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh) and John Davis was unexpectedly mannered, moody, dubby for a project whose name was a piss-take inversion of Jon Spencer’s Blues Explosion. It seems a bit of a shame that Dare to Be Surprised was destined to live in the shadow of the KIDS soundtrack’s success, but the ’90s were a weird time, and it was sometimes hard to recognize things for what they were. After 25 years Davis and Barlow have reunited, released a new full length album, and are touring again, reminding us just how unique a band they always were and continue to be.
