The Garbage and the Flowers-Eyes Rind as if Beggars


This band reminds me of a kiwi sonic youth with touches of the Microphones at times.  The Garbage and the Flowers are another Flying Nun group from the eighties that played music that is still completely relevant today.  I was actually pretty surprised the first time I heard this record because it seems so close to a lot of the semi-structured experimental garage stuff going on these days.  Another reason I especially like "Eyes Rind as if Beggars" is it seems to be a little bit more folk influenced than a lot of the other mid to late eighties flying nun groups.  Also on a few tracks they take a slightly more straightforward rock and roll approach that would have fit in with nicely with the paisley underground in Los Angeles.
