Synopsis

Album Description

Compilation of singles and rare tracks by Orange Peels leader Allen Clapp chronicles the '90s Indie-pop bedroom-rock experience. For a decade Clapp poured his heart and soul into recording; making entire worlds occur within the confines of two-minute pop songs. In the pre-Belle-and-Sebastian pop landscape, Clapp's combination of classic melodies and lyrics that were equally parts fey and clever struck a chord. His delightfully economical first single, "A Change in the Weather" (1991) introduced the world to the breezy melodies and spry rhyming that would become his hallmark.

"I love this CD and all of Allen's stuff. Sunset and Brown Formica Table are my faves, but all the songs transport me to another world... California... and if memories is a world - to there too."
