"The best New York record you've never heard"! Had it not been for bad timing, mental illness, rampant drug abuse, and a penchant for burning bridges, Charles Douglas might be thought of today as a songwriter on par with Stephen Malkmus, Beck, Daniel Johnston, Robert Pollard, and other members of the indie-rock aristocracy! Playing all the instruments himself, recording in the basement of his parents' house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, his songs range from gleeful stoner anthems to deranged anti-folk to noisy pop to lo fi bubblegum. Five years after the reissue of The lives of Charles Douglas (featuring Maureen Tucker on drums!) and along with this summer release of an expanded 2 CD version of his Statecraft album, this first time on vinyl reissue should mark the world rediscovery of Charles Douglas genius!
