Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, The Funeral Pudding (12" EP)

1994's The Funeral Pudding feels like an in-between EP for the band, but it's really long enough to be a full-length. This EP captures the Thinking Fellers' transition between the full-on splattery mess of Mother of All Saints and the song-heavy Strangers from the Universe. (Admonishing the Bishops, from roughly the same time, includes all songs.) The songs on The Funeral Pudding are a bit more "rock" and less melodic than those on Admonishing the Bishops or Strangers from the Universe, and some of their soundtrack instrumental side comes through too. The splatter is mostly rock-oriented improv, far less diverse and crazy than on Mother of All Saints. The Funeral Pudding ranges from raw to lo-fi in sound quality, and the cover paintings look cool.
