Two Cents Plus Tax album for sale Product Description

Two Cents Plus Tax album for sale by Versus was released May 05, 1998 on the Caroline label. Together for at least half a dozen years, Versus continues to solidify its sound on TWO CENTS PLUS TAX. This NYC quartet still flies the indie rock flag high, staying with the Mission of Burma-based guitar rock they started with in the early nineties Two Cents Plus Tax buy CD music. In the meantime, singers Richard Balyut and Fontaine Toups have both become more assured, and the band's songwriting has remained tightly focused. On most of the songs here, Balyut almost sounds like Joe Jackson, singing about one night stands and relationships in a sneering but witty way. On the Brazilian-inspired "Jack and Jill", Toups delivers a memorable vocal on a most atypical track. The two sing together more than ever, giving the band's music a more unified feel. Longer songs like "Morning Glory" (which includes lyrical references to Nicholas Ray's film In a Lonely Place) are fleshed out with vocals rather than the Yo La Tengo-influenced guitar rave-ups of their earlier material. The album's production is full-sounding and powerful, even leaning towards "radio-ready" on the opening track "Atomic Kid." With many of their peers either defunct, going techno, or in major label oblivion, Versus has emerged as the leading purveyor of catchy, loud guitar. Engineers: Vaughan Merrick, Kurt Ralske, Nicolas Vernhes. Personnel: Jason Frangos (cello). ...See Full Description
