The early 90s Olympia trio Lync harnessed the same raw energy and passionate discord of the eras San Diego and DC chapters of post-hardcore while building their songs on the foundation of the Pacific Northwest indie rock scenes clever hooks and sophisticated melodies. In celebration of the recent reissue of Lyncs sole LP, These Are Not Fall Colors, singer-songwriter David Bazan has re-envisioned the album opener B under his Pedro the Lion moniker, stripping away the celebratory distortion and riotous clamor of the original for a hushed acoustic rendition in line with Bazans most austere slow-core moments. Paired together as a 7 single on Suicide Squeeze Records, these two versions of B highlight the multifaceted power of the original song, with Pedro the Lions version elevating its fundamental melodic weight, idiosyncratic chord structure, and poetic power, and the original Lync version reminding us how their distinctive brand of expressive dissonance and adrenalized execution transformed their cerebral pop songs into jagged masterpieces of the post-Nevermind punk underground.
