I was delighted to find out yesterday that one of my favorite EPs from 30 years ago, long out of print, [was available on Bandcamp](https://rickwhitearchive.bandcamp.com/album/erics-trip-peter-lp-1992-recordings?ref=helpful-koala.pikapod.net). I loved *Peter* from Eric’s Trip, but even when it was current, it was hard to obtain. I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that I ripped my friend’s copy to burn on a CD, a practice I was totally against, but felt I had no other choice. Now the band’s Rick White is releasing his archive through the indie music service.

[Eric's Trip - PETER LP. (1992 recordings) by Rick White Archive](https://rickwhitearchive.bandcamp.com/album/erics-trip-peter-lp-1992-recordings?ref=helpful-koala.pikapod.net) 

It turns out I’m not the only one with nostalgia for the fuzzed out lofi from these Canadians. The album *My Anti-Aircraft Friend* by LA outfit Julie [earned an 8.1 score in Pitchfork’s review](https://rickwhitearchive.bandcamp.com/album/erics-trip-peter-lp-1992-recordings?ref=helpful-koala.pikapod.net) with nothing less than a full validation of the Eric’s Trip sound. Though the reviewer, Matthew Schnipper, writes quite a bit about Sonic Youth, those of us who were around in the 90s know of more immediate reference points.[1](https://mineinmono.net/everything-old-is-new-again/?ref=helpful-koala.pikapod.net#975b1afe-7c9c-4a5a-81f1-b7aa3df2d9fc)

Compare the second song from *My Anti-Aircraft Friend*. “Tenebrist” with the Eric’s Trip song “Sunlight” from their debut album *Love Tara*. The post-classic nasal drip vocals with guitar effects ripped from grunge and lurching dynamics that could put you in a neck brace all match here.

It’s gratifying to see the nostalgia for 90s inspired sounds in the same way that we saw a reverence for 80s music a little over a decade ago.

1. To be fair, Eric’s Trip was named after the Sonic Youth song from *Daydream Nation.* [↩︎](https://mineinmono.net/everything-old-is-new-again/?ref=helpful-koala.pikapod.net#975b1afe-7c9c-4a5a-81f1-b7aa3df2d9fc-link)
