Jaya The Cat - O'Farrell LP
SKU: ROFR014
Description:
The
unofficial first album by the band Jaya The Cat. Recorded back in
1999, it was never released until now, 14 years later. All the
tapes were recovered and are now presented to the public for the
first time on vinyl.
Back when singer Geoff
wrote the songs for the album, he was living on the multi-cultural
street O´Farrell in San Francisco - hence the album name. The
typical Jaya The Cat sound is present on the album, however with
more punk elements than usual: Distorted guitars with impulsive
offbeat and above all Geoffs distinctive rough voice. Some of the
songs were rerecorded for the album Basment Style. Highlights are
the three brilliant cover songs Night Nurse by Gregory Isaacs,
Walking The Cow by Daniel Johnston and Misunderstood, which was
made famous by the Animals and is transformed to a rock-ska version
by Jaya The Cat.
All photographs in the
artwork were taken by Joseph Szymanski on and in the vicinity of
O´Farrell street. Szymanski is a photographer from San Francisco
who spends his time working mainly with analogous film material and
developing his own photos in a darkroom, and also teaches at the
Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
