Album Cover Description
The first color image since Ready for the House. A white painted writing desk of some sort is featured. Interesting that his first return to color film stock is so... "colorless"... very drab and bleak.
The frame is skewed... the surface of the desk dips to the left.
A acoustic guitar case lies on its side on the right side of the frame.
Plush blue... something... is in the left side of the frame... perhaps an ottoman... or two cushions stacked on top of one another.
There are three items on the desk's surface... they are all indiscernible.
The carpet is similar enough to Ready for the House to require comment... but dissimilar enough to preclude conviction.
Reviews
Typical’ all-acoustic early-80s Jandek, which means it was produced in the cold-sun heat of a state knowable only to the artist himself. Some highlights: the hard-picked philosophy of “Elementary Talk”; drummer John pounding freely on “John Plays Drums” with Jandek strumming violently and shouting to be heard (he makes it); the droney psych-folk on “Dance of Death”... “If Your Fortune Fails You” full of Dylan-pathos; the claustrophobic closer, “They Knew My Game,” with distorted mouth-on-mic vocals and what sounds like a dying music box in the background.”
