Jerry Rooth – But You’ll Try…Again b/w But You Loved Me Anyway
Jerry Rooth’s Higney-produced single is further evidence that Higney’s sonic philosophy was no accident. All the classic shimmers present are: muted drums, rough, desperate vocals, and the wonderfully inexplicable audio-temporal mixing that made Attic Demonstration such a classic. “But You’ll Try…Again” strays from Higney’s downer-rock and dives into a strange brew of hard-rock, power-pop, and unfathomable weirdness, including an epic 80s workout of guitar tomshreddery. For its comparative mellowness and strange effects sprinkle throughout, “But You Loved Me Anyway” is the real winner for me. Long live Higney. Killer pic sleeve.

Killer single. Thanks for this entry.
this is great. i love “But You Loved Me Anyway”… strangely, his growly voice thing on “But You’ll Try… Again” reminds me of weird al…
this is so cool! thanks, Aaron.
There was a record store in Hoboken, New Jersey that would give away a free copy of this 45 with every purchase in the 80s.
This is great…got the weightyness of late seventies California with the outsider vibes of Skip Spence or something. Works for me
can we get a downloadable version of this please?
“But You Loved Me Anyway” is a total winner. Hig’s 7″ w/ Funky Kinky and that other song is worth picking up too…
i’d like to know more information on this psychedelic guitar sample and others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A51O0Airhsg – This was sampled by El-P for Mr. Lif (Post Mortem). I search “Chorus” 1974 by Janko Nilovic, If someone has this record… Thanks a lot
