Title Note

Galaxie 500: Dean Wareham (vocals, guitar); Naomi Yang (vocals, bass); Damon Krukowski (drums, percussion, background vocals).

Recorded live at Barbue, Copenhagen, Denmark on December 1, 1990. Includes liner notes by Byron Coley.

Galaxie 500 was a master of its art. Its simple pop songs are the foundation of an intricate universe that seduces listeners with layers of dreamy guitars, jazzy percussion, and translucent vocals. The band lets a song's tension build, and then manipulates it in appealing directions. On COPENHAGEN, recorded live by Danish National Radio in 1990, the trio drifts through stellar originals, and tries its hand at covers, including a brooding version of The Modern Lover's "Don't Let Our Youth Go To Waste." Long compared with The Velvet Underground, it's no surprise to hear the band tackle "Here She Comes Now," but Galaxie 500's version is uniquely its own.

Perhaps the biggest mystery of all is why the band broke up shortly after this recording. Galaxie 500 helped pave the way for American indie rock in the late '80s/early '90s. While the rest of the world was celebrating REM (or lip synching to Bon Jovi records), Galaxie 500 held true to its own unique vision. Though each member went on to make outstanding music elsewhere (Luna/Damon & Naomi), Galaxie 500's career was as influential as it was disappointingly brief.
