Uncle Wiggly – There Was An Elk – Vinyl Record

Uncle Wiggly is an indie rock band that emerged in the 1990s and is known for their lo-fi and experimental sound.

The New York City-based trio Uncle Wiggly originally formed by WFMU radio personality in 1989, with two members of the New York band Fly Ashtray, James Kavoussi and Michael Anzalone. and consists of members William Berger (guitar and drums), Michael Anzalone (bass and guitar), and James Kavoussi (drums and guitar), with all three sharing vocals and songwriting duties. Wm. Berger and James Kavoussi alternated as guitarist and drummer while Anzalone remained on bass.

Mixing concise alt-pop tunes with some retro psychedelia straight out of the ’60s, Uncle Wiggly issued their debut album, He Went There So Why Don’t We Go, a year later on the independent Austrian label Nur Sch Records, before signing on with Shimmy Disc, which issued the trio’s next two releases: 1991’s Across the Room and Into Your Lap and 1992’s There Was an Elk. The trio issued a 12′ EP titled Non Stuff in 1995, as well as their fourth full-length release overall, Jump Back, Baby, in 1996.

Their sound was a complex filter of their favorite music, including early Pink Floyd, the Krautrock movement and early SST Records artists like The Meat Puppets and The Minutemen.
