As far as I’m concerned, A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness is essential ’90s indie pop listening. The debut album from the Pacific Northwest band Rocketship has steadily earned a cult following since its release via the seminal label Slumberland in 1996, although it’s been out of print for years. T., per Stereogum.
This will be the first vinyl and CD pressings of Rocketship’s debut album since its original 1996 release. separately, Brooklyn Vegan reported.
