The crumbs from the bountiful indie rock cookies baked in 80s locales like Athens, GA, and the Twin Cities scattered in virtually all conceivable directions, both in the States and abroad. Thankfully, Tallahassee, FL wasnt spared from this deluge, and the Casual Ts proved to be capable ambassadors from the Sunshine state panhandle. Evidently, Longer Than Seemed Real was the brunt of this quartets slim discography, and sure enough they make it count on ringing and nervy salvos like "Rose Colored World," and "Walls Dont Talk Back," the latter emanating a bite not too far removed from Husker Du. The Casual Ts operate just as agilely when toning it down on a notch on "Intensive Care" and "Back to Normal." Per a bio that accompanied my copy of the album, these folks at one point in their tenure opened for the likes of the Replacements and Alex Chilton. Just sayin. After the jump, check out a YouTube clip of "Adelay," a track culled from an earlier single that I cant get enough of, even if its merely an instrumental.
