Released in 1993, BUBBLE & SCRAPE is considered by many fans to be Sebadoh's best album. Former Dinosaur Jr. member Lou Barlow's jangly balladry, Eric Gaffney's dissonant punk jams (dig his pseudo-death-metal growl on "Elixir Is Zog") and Jason Loewenstein's own emerging style (ranging from the mellow "Happily Divided" to the blistering "Flood") combine to create a lo-fi, instrument-juggling stew de force. The record would be Gaffney's last with the band, and he doesn't sound too happy about it, thrashing against the coming of the night via blistering tracks "Fantastic Disaster" and "Telecosmic Alchemy." Barlow's work, meanwhile, is some of his most heart-rending and poignant, particularly the lurching "Homemade," the fragile "Think (Let Tomorrow Bee"), and the Dinosaur-esque "Cliche." Like a drunken poet at a late-night party, this album alternates between melancholy and ferocity, sputtering out gobs of genius even as it lurches, wails, and crashes into the buffet table. After this recording, Loewenstein and Barlow would continue on as a songwriting duo with the sublime BAKESALE, and Gaffney would form his own band, Fields of Gaffney.

Bubble & Scrape is the last Sebadoh record to feature Eric Gaffney, and accordingly, his contributions are not so much songs as tantrums; blistering rants like "Telecosmic Alchemy" and "Elixir Is Zog" offer much in the way of dissonant noise but little in the way of substance. Still, the album has much to recommend it -- not only does Jason Loewenstein emerge here as an increasingly adept songwriter, even approaching the quiet beauty of Barlow's acoustic songs with tunes like "Happily Divided,", but Lou Barlow truly hits his stride: both "Soul and Fire" and "Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)" are sterling additions to one of the most impressive catalogs of love songs on the planet, while "Cliche" stings with bitter intensity. Bubble and Scrape is a rich, diverse, and terrific record, even with its occasional dull spots. [Domino's 2008 reissue adds fifteen bonus tracks including songs released on singles, unreleased takes on songs from the album (most notably Barlow's acoustic demo of "Soul and Fire") and rememberances from all three band members in the liner notes.] ~ Jason Ankeny & Stephen Thomas Erlewine
