The Firecracker EP is a 1998 release by Unwed Sailor. It served as the band's first release, largely defining their instrumental, bass-anchored songs.
Background[edit]
After deciding to form the band in 1998, bassist Johnathon Ford recruited K.C. Wescott as a guitarist, David Bazan as a drummer, and Melissa Palladino violin as a violinist for recording the group's debut release.[1] The group moved from Oklahoma to Chicago to record the four track EP.[1][2] It was released in 1999 on Seatle's Made in Mexico label, and later released on Burnt Toast Vinyl.[1]
Reception[edit]
Mike DaRonco of Allmusic praised the EP for being "Beautifully crafted pop that doesn't utter a single word" and concluded that "Unlike fellow instrumental indie outlet Tristeza, Unwed Sailor can be appreciated as something other than background music.[2]
