Centro-Matic covers: Flashes and Cables, Triggers and Trash Heaps

Centro-Matic, late of Denton, TX. What can I say, other than that they've consistently been one of my favorite bands of the last 20-ish years?  Beautiful, gentle, obscure and impressionistic tunes as well as unbelievable overdriven and compressed shouters.  A real artistic collaboration between the four members and often just alchemic magic.

Never had taken any of their tunes out for a spin but was feeling this past Sunday like I'd knock out a couple quick ones.  Super fun to chew on and warble.  Tried to keep it simple, recording the vocal and guitar live (Epiphone Casino with a touch of delay, phase type of things) and overdubbing harmonies and a shaky egg.
