Description
Love Battery – Between The Eyes – Cassette
Between the Eyes is the debut album by Seattle-based rock band Love Battery. Initially, Sub Pop Records released a single titled ‘Between the Eyes’ in 1989. Tupelo Recordings then released Between the Eyes as an EP/mini-album in 1990, with ‘Licensed by Sub Pop’ printed on the artwork. Sub Pop subsequently released the final version in 1991, expanding the album with three additional tracks.
The single ‘Between the Eyes’ landed at No. 36 on Paste’s list of the ’50 Best Grunge Songs.’ Paste described the LP as ‘a stripped-down, gut-churning collection of gritty guitars and vox.’ The Stranger noted that the LP, along with its follow-up, ‘Dayglo,’ ‘remain psychedelic twin towers’ in the catalog of Sub Pop.
Formed in 1989, Love Battery was part of the Seattle music scene during the rise of grunge. Their music blends elements of psychedelic rock and grunge, characterized by gritty guitars and dynamic vocals. The band’s lineup during the recording of ‘Between the Eyes’ included Ron Nine (vocals, guitar), Kevin Whitworth (guitar), Tommy ‘Bonehead’ Simpson (bass on tracks 1-7), Jim Tillman (bass on tracks 8-10), and Jason Finn (drums).
