From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red House Painters (also known as Bridge to distinguish it from the first eponymous album, also known as Rollercoaster) is the third album by the group Red House Painters, released in autumn 1993 by 4AD. The album is made up of songs from the same recording sessions for Rollercoaster.
At the beginning of the album opener "Evil," the faint laughter of Mark Kozelek and the barely-audible voice of a female playfully saying "No" can be heard. The album includes two covers--a sunny version of "I Am a Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel; and Francis Scott Key's "The Star-Spangled Banner," which displays an off-beat dark humor. In the US, 4AD added the Shock Me EP as bonus tracks to the CD when the RHP catalog was reissued in 1999, to bring the total number of tracks to 12.
