THE THERMALS from Portland, Oregon, were created in spring 2002 by singer Hutch Harris in his kitchen, by summer THE THERMALS were a rock band in the flesh. In October they signed a three record deal with Sub Pop. Their debut was recorded at home by Harris on a four-track cassette recorder with Chris Walla (DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE) mixing the recordings in Seattle, Wahington. The result is "no-fi" glory. Distorted guitars, distorted drums, distorted bass, distorted vocals all collide into perfect, distorted pop songs. Imagine combining the best of the "grunge" bands with some of the lo-fi geniuses who've worked with Sub Pop, like Lou Barlow and Mark Arm recording a record toether in the basement. This work of pure genius pays absolutely no heed to generally accepted principles of sound recording. Infact, "More Parts Per million" may force the listener to decide for him or herself what makes a record "listenable", "unlistenable", or "very fucking listenable".
