Stars of the lid Gravitational Pull Vs The Desire For An Aquatic Life

Released 01 Jan 1996

Initially just four tracks long, yet clocking in at nearly 42 minutes, 1996’s Gravitational Pull vs. the Desire for an Aquatic Life was billed as an EP before Kranky reissued it on CD the following year, fleshing it out with the nine-minute bonus track “Jan. 69.” McBride and Wiltzie were both living in Austin, a period Wiltzie once characterized succinctly: “blistering heat and massive drugs and depression.”.
