Search - Various Artists :: Stacked Up: Up Singles Collection

This wonderful compilation of Up's 7-inch singles (and some previously unreleased songs) actually precedes the release of some material it supposedly compiles. In other words, if you want a sneak peak at a few upcoming singles, definitely check this out. A wide range of Up's finest are here from the label's humble beginnings (Violent Green and Juned) to their heavy hitters (Built to Spill and Mike Johnson), including recent signings Caustic Resin and Land of the Loops and everything in between. It's an eclectic selection with a unifying thread of subtle, eccentric melodicism--a bit like a kinder, gentler, and perhaps weirder Sub Pop 200. With the release of Stacked Up!, Up has established itself as a unique and vital label furthering the cause of Northwest indie pop--be it from Eugene, Boise, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, or all points between. --Adem Tepedelen
