Steely Dan came later, but that's another story. It should be noted the lyrics for 'The Eyes of a New York City Woman', from 'Hoboken Saturday Night' are by Thomas Pynchon, and first appeared in his novel 'V'. These albums and that book sort of set the tone for those times.( "A screaming came across the sky") Happily both IT albums are available on cd. Great listing of a great band.

It is a shame – if the production was more well-crafted and if their discipline extended throughout the entire album, we all would have heard of them sooner. LoFi is definitely the word for this blend of bluesish and folkish material that seems both laid back and outta here at the same time – it is neither blues nor folk, nor is it particularly psychedelic; however it is definitely human -- the wind instruments, when played with greater control, bring a depth to their sound. Nancy Jefferies voice, while woven in well with the material, could stand a counterpoint. Although I truly enjoy this album, there are a number of filler tracks that seem rather unprofessional, awkward and sophmoric even. Their strongest material betrays their individual strengths. I look forward to acquiring their second album... The re-issue of The Insect Trust (a limited run of 1000) is just out on cd!
