Seattle Weekly Feature

Twenty Questions
Seattle Weekly plays Jukebox Jury with the Posies.

The dB’s: “Black and White” (1981) from Stands for Decibels (IRS) and Flamin’ Groovies: “I Can’t Hide” (1976) from Shake Some Action (Sire)

Ken Stringfellow: [as dB’s play] Is this the song we left off Failure? [laughs] Is that the dB’s?

Jon Auer: It could be Mitch Easter– or Don Dixon–produced. It definitely has the Mitch Easter sound of the early R.E.M. recordings.

Stringfellow: [dB’s drummer] Will Rigby wanted to be in the Posies. [Flamin’ Groovies begins] Is that the Brian Jonestown Massacre? [laughs]

Paste Magazine Feature

The Return of The Posies.

Comfort isn’t often a term used in discussing rock music. It’s supposed to be rowdy, provocative and rebellious. Rock wears boots, not slippers. The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, The Clash—their best work is hardly music you’d listen to while relaxing by the fire.

Without a certain level of comfort, though, it’s hard to make music in the first place—something The Posies discovered while recording their latest album.
