Puzzle

There is a long list of early ‘90s albums that were unjustly ignored in the wake of the era’s grunge explosion. A lot of them were metal releases, but when it comes to alternative rock records, Dada’s Puzzle would be right at the top. Psychedelia and sunny SoCal sounds undercut by healthy skepticism (“Dizz Knee Land”) regarding the region’s charms render Puzzle worthy of its title, an impression reinforced by the enigmatic, Rorschach-like cover art. Power pop and even some funk add to the allure of this noir-ish album, which is as hard to classify as it is to resist. Finally, and with the full support of the band, Puzzle is making its U.S. vinyl debut for Record Store Day, in double-LP pressing in strawberry with black swirl vinyl, complete with an insert featuring lyrics. Limited to 2000 copies worldwide. Tracklist1. Dorina 2. Mary Sunshine Rain 3. Dog 4. Dizz Knee Land 5. Surround 6. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow 7. Posters 8. Timothy 9. Dim 10. Who You Are 11.
