25 Years Of Local H
  next, previous
WINTER 1993
Pulling our shit together, we decide to continue gigging as a duo - also, we start recording again, this time for a proposed full length. Back in the Shoes studio with Jeff, we record a 4 song set that includes Manipulator, a new version of User, and a weird tune called Ray Milland. The session is especially notable for two reasons. Possibly due to the influence of bands like Iceburn and Nuisance, Joe's snare is tuned up tighter than a gerbil butt. And the second reason? Finally, we hit upon the definitive Local H song: Cynic. Containing all the elements - a frenetic riff, a hooky chorus, peripatetic drumming, lyrics drowning in self-doubt, screaming, feedback, a touch of psychedelia and an even heavier riff in the bridge - Cynic is the sound of the band finally finding its identity. It's ground zero for the new Local H. Best of all? It features a structure that finally lends itself to being pulled off live by a two-piece band. Things are finally starting to click.
