Jump Over Barrels
Crash Course In Science are a post punk band that formed in 1979 in Philadelphia The band members Dale Feliciello Mallory Yago and Michael Zodorozny met while attending art school where they began to experiment with crude electronics and offbeat lyrics CCIS avoided conventional instrumentation by using toy instruments and kitchen appliances to augment the distorted guitar drums and synthesized beats Their first single 'Cakes in the Home' was released in 1979 followed by a 4song 12â## EP 'Signals From Pier Thirteen' in 1981 'Jump Over Barrels' was recorded at the Third Story Studio in Philadelphia in 1981 one year after 'Signals From Pier Thirteen' The song remained unmixed and unreleased at that time for a proposed album titled 'Near Marineland' Lyrically the song tackles overcoming obstacles self imposed or otherwise with vocal interplay between Michael and Mallory On the A Side is the original mix and a demo mix from 1981 Then on the flip is a brand new remix by prolific Ann Arbor producer Charles Manier a pseudonym of Tadd Mullinix who toughens up the track Also included is an unreleased demo version of the song from 1980 accentuating the raw and skeletal nature of the track All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley It is in a custommade jacket by our inhouse designer Eloise Leigh that incorporates waveformesque squiggles jumping over abstract barrel symbols plus a postcard with lyrics and notes
