Creeping Weeds: Self-Titled EP
[self-released]

Creeping Weeds’ self-titled four-song EP is as difficult to describe as it is impossible to ignore. Pete Stewart writes folk-rock songs that are just a tad psychedelic. The opener here, “Long Way Down,” begins by sounding as though it’s about to follow a predictably straight and narrow path from beginning to end; then – just like with those weeds in the garden – it starts growing wild all over the place. 

Stewart’s reserved vocals, when matched to these loose arrangements, bring to mind early Pavement recordings. At only a brief four songs in length, this quickie release plays for fifteen minutes, and then it’s all over before you know it. It’s the kind of stunning brief encounter, however, that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.

This artist begs the question: with great weeds like these, who even needs legitimate plants?

Check Amazon, Insound and CD Universe to purchase this album.
