Promo Cut In Corner
On Godspeed the Punchline, San Diego’s Trumans Water added to their already incessant indie punk fan base. The hodgepodge of sounds at the beginning of the first track, “Destroy 1998,” suggest a manic flurry of music to follow, and it’s true. Many of the tracks begin with silly, innovative audio experiments. The band’s confident and brash style of noisy indie rock was certainly catching on by this point. From the hypnotic howling at the beginning of “Long End of a Firearm” to the wonderful cut-and-paste avant noise on “Ungalactic,” the band began to experiment with more than straightforward angular guitar noise. “Outpatient Lightspeed” and “Playboy Stabtone Bloodbath” manage to pack an album’s worth of punkish energy into a few minutes. The quietly distant instrumentation of “Spaceship Next Door” dances behind Glen Galloway’s spoken vocals on the disc’s final track. While some of the band’s charming sloppiness had faded, Galloway’s unyielding vocals hadn’t wavered. Homestead and LSR Records released the LP in 1993.
