back in the day, earworm was one the uk's most impressive and highly collectible record labels. like wurlitzer jukebox, it was one of those labels that out art before profit and therefore poured huge amounts of money into the coffers of gramofonove zavody and the like, with little hope of seeing much of it back.that said, earworm's catalogue features an impressive number of household names - that is if people like obscure indie bands in your household. we're talking bands like yo la tengo, bright eyes, fridge, of montreal, spacemen 3 and the apples in stereo.
their speciality was a mixture of space/kraut/post rock and elephant6 psychedlia, and it's well represented on this compilation of sold out singles and exclusives. this is the second of two - wish i had the first...
