The arrival of Motivational Jumpsuit rendered my reunion-era GbV collection complete. It’s been a long time since I have explored this period, which consisted of two years, six albums, and twenty 7” singles. Tobin Sprout was back. So was Mitch Mitchell, Kevin Fennell, and Greg Demos. These are the dudes that played on those lo-fi ‘90s albums that put the band on the map.
Let’s Go Eat The Factory arrived in early 2012, and just like that GbV was back, eight years after a completely different lineup was put to bed. It seems like there was a deliberate attempt to make this album seem more in line with those patchwork early releases, even though most of the recordings are quite hi-fi. Fortunately it works and what we have is a fantastic, extremely underrated GbV album. It’s nice to have Tobin Sprout’s songs back in the running, even if they are mostly all solo efforts that are flown in remotely.
This is gonna be a fun dive.
