Dogs Ears Are StupidCARE OF THE COWDescription: LP version; includes download. Mental Experience presents a reissue of Care Of The Cow's Dogs' Ears Are Stupid originally released only on cassette in 1983. The album is a fascinating blend of psychedelic folk minimal electronics and post-punk weirdness. Acid fuzz guitar incredible vocal harmonies drum machines and analogue synths make it one of Chicago's best kept secrets with a history that goes back to 1974. A trio formed by Victor Sanders X Baczewska and Sher Doruff they had a very unique and eclectic sound experimental yet very melodic mixing psychedelic folk-rock with art-rock and DIY/post-punk. Their influences were very diverse: The Beatles Fripp Eno Joni Mitchell Carla Bley Pauline Oliveros and Eric Dolphy. Care Of The Cow debuted in 1975 with a 10 followed by their first album in 1981. By 1983 the band was adding drum machines and synths to their sound highlighted by Victor's amazing guitar playing and X and Sher's perfectly blended vocal harmonies resulting in Dogs' Ears Are Stupid released only as a tiny cassette edition in 1983. For the Mental Experience this is a lost gem from the '80s underground which really deserved a reissue. Here it is done in collaboration with Steve Krakow of Plastic Crimewave/Galactic Zoo fame. Remastered from the master tapes includes insert with liner notes Krakow and photos.
