First time on vinyl - CLEAR VINYL EDITION limited to 100, gatefold jacket with new artwork. Amongst the mid 90's grunge pop storm was a quiet band from Perth who would help define a sub-genre - "slowcore". But while forming in 1991, it took 4 years for BLUETILE LOUNGE debut record Lowercase (1995), then follow up with Half Cut (1998). With just two albums and a compilation appearance, then they were gone. To the many that found them after the fact, Bluetile Lounge were a band with a cult following. Championed by bands LOW and SONIC YOUTH during their active years, they were amplified by passionate fans and online file sharing, long after their records were out of print. These were deep-cuts from the obscure scene, subverting many of the genre tropes. Exisiting during a time pre-internet mass adoption. Exisiting in a place far away from everything, Perth Western Australia.
