I hadn't ever heard of this band when I bought the 10", but I figured that a band with the name Pineapple4.9 and an album cover like that wouldn't disappoint. I'd say I was right, though I have a hard time pinning down exactly what is so appealing about it. They're almost like a no-wave band with all the nervous tension drained, leaving them diffused and skeletal. Pretty mellow, but just enough subtle strangeness to keep me interested.

...do you by any chance have anything from a band called "Still"?
I think that their 2 eps were also reissued in a single cdr...

I've seen those EPs on eBay before, but I haven't bought them. If I obtain them, I'll be sure to upload them for you!
I think nattliga_toner at Habit of Sex blog has one of them, though...
