Groping for the Perfect Song (1998)

from Natty Gloves by Howling Turbines

about

Like "Shortwave Radio," "Why This Passion" and others, this early Fashion Jungle number seemed primed for a comeback when drummer Ken Reynolds rejoined bassist Gretchen Schaefer and me and we declared ourselves the Howling Turbines. In this rehearsal recording from 1998 I managed to goof up some lyrics including the signature opening line. I derived some sort of early inspiration for this from David Byrne, but that didn't last.
