about

At the time of it's release in 1991, In the Presence of Greatness, the first Velvet Crush album, was hailed as a 'classic' by the likes of Rolling Stone and Britain's New Musical Express for chrissakes, and now it's available with new artwork and three bonus tracks!

Recorded on 8 tracks at our friend Matthew Sweet's house in Princeton, NJ, it has an explosive sound the likes of which we'll probably never recapture, and seeing as how it's been remastered, sounds better than ever before. Infact, it sounds like it coulda been recorded yesterday, which i guess is why it's a 'classic'!

Great album from a band that has always felt like a good, honest friend, offering insightful words and soulfully driven melodies to help ease worries while acknowledging concerns. I've always loved the production on Nada Surf albums, it's genuine and sincere, and this album's sound is no different. cmeidell

Let it be stated: rock music needs more harmonies, keys, and wild beauty. (Fortunately, this one has it all!) for more Very Good Haiku Reviews, visit: comeawaywithemd.com/very-good-haiku-a-2021-music-writing-experiment/ EMD
