Halo Benders - Don’t Tell Me Now Vinyl Record LP New
When Doug Martsch of Built to Spill and Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening joined forces as the Halo Benders, the result was one of indie rock's most unlikely and rewarding collaborations. Don't Tell Me Now, the duo's second album released on K Records in 1996, finds Martsch's soaring guitar virtuosity colliding with Johnson's deep, deadpan baritone in ways that shouldn't work — but absolutely do.
With Steve Fisk contributing production and additional textures, the album blends the underground sensibilities of the Olympia, Washington scene with the expansive guitar explorations Martsch was simultaneously perfecting in Built to Spill. Tracks like "Phantom Power," "Mercury Blues," and "Bomb Shelter Pt. 2" showcase two of indie rock's most distinctive voices pushing each other into unexpected territory. A cult classic from the golden age of K Records.

1. Phantom Power
