Trumans Water is an experimental post-punk outfit from San Diego.
They were formed in 1991 by brothers Kirk (guitar) & Kevin (bass) Bransletter along with Jeff Jones (drums). The three advertised for a "lead singer, brain optional" & soon added Glen Galloway. Galloway quit part way through the 1993 Godspeed tetralogy (Godspeed the Static, ...the Punchline, ...the Hemorrhage, & ...the Vortex).

And yet another act that I never got into even though I've always thought that they might be something for me. So, this is a welcome chance to give them another listen. As ever, many thanks, Nate!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of this group. I have several more of their releases. Always found them interesting.
DeleteCheers Nate. I've been having problems with mega recently so only just got around to downloading this. I first came across these chaps in the early 90s when a friend introduced me to both them and Saccharine Trust. They shared a similar, angular tonality that i found unsettling at the time, but later on got into. I'd love to hear more when you have the time.
ReplyDeleteRM,
DeleteHere are a few had ready. Hope they’re not ones you already have.

By the way, what’s the trouble with MEGA? That’s where I cloud all my music
Not sure, but it's a connectivity thing. I often can't get through to the download screen and it freezes on the 'connecting to server' screen. Other times I just get a blanked out screen and have to come out and try again later. Other people have reported another problem i get with mega too: it cycles through the download meter then freezes at 99%. It's a shame, because when it does work the downloads are quick.
DeleteDo you download from MEGA direct or do you use megasync?
DeleteI have the app on my phone, so i suppose it's direct. Never heard of megasync. How does that operate?
DeleteCouldn't download these y'day, but this morning - drrring, straight away! Very frustrating. I've no idea why it should be so erratic. Ta very much mate.
I work strictly off the PC, never any issues. Via phone is often fraught with problems.
DeleteMegasync is a free app from MEGA that aids in downloading. Can't hurt to give it a try. Just go to MEGA or google it. Don't know it that'll help.
Cheers mate. Installed megasync, then quickly uninstalled when a permissions window said i'd be allowing it to access all files on my phone even if it had nothing to do with music, and it wouldn't inform me.
DeleteNever heard of such a thing but that definitely wouldn't be good.
