Up On The Sun
Meat Puppets
Released on SST Records in the mid-eighties, this work captures a moment where underground musicians looked toward psychedelic, folk, and country textures. The production is surprisingly spacious, framing the band's move into swirling, intricate arrangements.
Desert heat and acid-tinged melodies collide here. The result is a departure from the group's early raw roots, displaying a newfound interest in expansive sound. It stands as a document of a band exploring new territory with a loose, hallucinatory approach.
