Soup

Blind Melon

Shannon Hoon and his group crafted a haunting, private document that feels distant from the optimism of their earlier work. The studio sessions in New Orleans resulted in a raw, organic atmosphere that set them apart from the grunge sounds on the radio.

They leaned into psychedelic sensibilities and folk-rock roots to shape the project. There is a restless, experimental quality in these arrangements. This record stands as a final creative statement, capturing a group as they reached for new ground.
