Description

Originally recorded at home in 1996, The Fun Of Watching Fireworks introduced the world to The American Analog Set’s signature hypnotic, lo-fi indie rock infused with krautrock rhythms and atmospheric textures. Hazy and immersive, the album captures the warmth of analog recordings, blending dreamy guitars, vintage Farfisa organ, and trance-inducing melodies.

Remastered from the original analog tapes, this reissue restores the depth and richness of the band’s pioneering sound. Featuring standout tracks like "Diana Slowburner II" and "Trespassers In The Stereo Field," this is an essential release for lovers of minimalist indie rock, shoegaze, and post-rock soundscapes.

For fans of: Yo La Tengo, Stereolab, Galaxie 500, Tortoise
