Aside from some old HH stand-bys like Cave-In, Torche and Big Business, most of the labels 2009 output would fall under what Label head Aaron Turner refered to as “challenging (i.e. unmarketable)” in his going out of business statement. The Jodis album released that year, at least for me, fit squarely in that camp.

Or maybe I just never gave it (or 18 other releases that year) a fair shake. I’m sure thats the attitude that helped drive Hydrahead out of business. My bad dudes. I love your label, even when I didn’t buy things from it. I always respected that you put out exactly what you wanted to, even if I hated it (Xasther, Gridlink) or thought it was way to expensive ($25 for a single 12″).

With all that said, I love this track. I slept on Jodis, hard. I also gave the first album another go. Damnit, that thing is great too. 

Buy both album.
