They’ve drawn comparisons to WIRE, CAN, The FALL, FUGAZI and The STOOGES. They have a singer who wears black gloves to overcome stage fright. They won the $30,000 Australian Music Prize for their 2008 album ''Primary Colours''—then recorded the next one themselves in a few hours in their practice space and spent the dough on a photo shoot for the album cover. They do not care about you and your expectations. You could call them “fiercely independent” but they don’t seem fierce at all. Quietly, and definitely on their own terms, EDDY CURRENT SUPRESSION RING has become a force in underground music. Now, after three albums, it’s time for a compilation of singles tracks, demos and other stuff they had lying round. Turns out there was lots to choose from—and even after trimming, they ended up with a double album. 22 songs of out of print songs, demo material and other hard-to-find-stuff. Vinyl version comes with digital download.
