Tax included.
Considered by many the template for 1990s indie rock. Versus’ first full-length album became an instant cult classic.
Recorded by Adam Lasus (Yo La Tengo, Helium, Lilys) at his Studio Red in March of 1994 and released just six weeks later in early May of that same year on the Teenbeat label.
While the first pressing didn’t include the track, “Fallow,” this edition has all 12 songs from the CD. Each of them remastered by Scott Anthony.
Formed in New York City in 1990 by guitarist Richard Baluyut and bassist Fontaine Toups, Versus became one of the most important, influential and underrated bands in the then budding indie-rock genre.
“They weren’t as influential as Pavement, as industrious as Guided By Voices, as idiosyncratic as Unrest, or as ubiquitous as Superchunk. But the part that Versus played in the indie rock underground of the 1990s can’t be overlooked. . . . Versus were the quintessential indie rock band.” — Pitchfork
