Beat Happening - Jamboree - Vinyl Record

 Beat Happening's second album, Jamboree, released in 1988, is a brilliant showcase of the band's unique approach to songwriting and musicianship. The album retains the band's minimalist instrumentation, but the songs are more complex and diverse than those on their debut. Tracks like "Indian Summer" and "Cry for a Shadow" demonstrate the band's growing sophistication in their use of melody and arrangement. Jamboree also highlights the band's playful and humorous side, with tracks like "Red Head Walking" and "Cat Walk" showcasing their irreverent sense of humor. Jamboree is a vital and influential album that helped to define the sound of the indie rock scene of the late 1980s.
