Dodging comparisons to Bauhaus and Joy Division, Blind Lemon Pie create
their own daring sound as vocalist/lyricist Doug Hundley's dark, yet
tongue-in-cheek phrases run roughshod over the group's passion for odd
arrangements and dramatic soundscapes.Their first single 'Laura Mars' (b-side 'A Mirror For Annabelle')
show an early tendency for mid-tempo 80's "college pop." Their second single 'Our Red Planet' (b-side 'Lies Of Ireland') shows a
similar struggle as the group begins to break away from their '60's influence
and head for a darker, more desperate place to brood. The third single released by BLP,
called "This Paper Bird" (b-side 'Quite in Kensington")
show topics of dread and beauty are still a concern, yet the epics and mellow
jams are gone. Instead, a more modern, aggressive sound has immerged.
Their fourth single "The Unfamiliar" (b-side "Lay Your Head (On My Mind))"
has become Blind Lemon Pie's signature song, and with good reason!
Brilliant, imbecilic, dark and sullen- Blind Lemon Pie in a nut shell! Their Debut
