Vedder Vedder Bedwetter is the third studio album by To Live and Shave in L.A., released on May 16, 1995 by Fifth Colvmn Records. [3] [4] It is recognized by critics as a particularly "harsh" entry in the noise music genre. [5]
Vocalist Tom Smith spent the free time he had during the recording sessions of 30-minuten männercreme to mix the album, while Frank Falestra continued to record his own parts for their debut. [6] The album included sessions taped with Don Fleming at Waterworks in NYC, radio and live performances recording during the band's 1996 tour that featured accompaniment by Weasel Walter and Nándor Névai and their own live performances without collaborators. Smith attributes being inexperienced as a recording technician and said:
"I wish I'd done Vedder Vedder Bedwetter differently. There were no programs for editing and I had to get tricky sequencing tracks. We had two different DAT machines, so the bridging tracks sometimes got lost or the timing wasn't right. We couldn't cut it accurately like you can with software. It's a little messy." [7]
Sonic Boom was thoroughly negative towards the band and their music, saying "the feedback coupled with the screaming vocals of which not a single intelligible word can be understood lacks any enticement that would allow for the establishment of a fan base." [8] Despite reserved expectations, Jeff Bagato at Washington City Paper mostly enjoyed the album while noting the "impenetrable" nature of the music's noise genre. [9]
Composers Frank Falestra and Tom Smith share opposing views of the album, with Falestra holding that it represents a strong point in the band's career while Smith describes it as "oafish bluster" and considers it the band's worst work. Writer Andrew Earles accused the work of not being "biting" or modern despite the intention to illustrate such in artist's name and album titles. [10] [11] The Flying Luttenbachers bandleader Weasel Walter, guitar, tenor saxophone, trombone, has also expressed his dissatisfaction with the end result. [12]
All tracks are written by Frank Falestra and Bill Orcutt
