“Cheer-Accident is difficult to dislike” - ALL MUSIC GUIDE This isn’t the first of its kind; also the bad news: it won’t be the last. That’s right: you have stumbled upon the SECOND in a series featuring nothing but odd fragments of historical CHEER-ACCIDENT ephemera, which will apparently continue well into perpetuity. This particular installment has the distinction of ending with the best song ever recorded, which - on its face - would seem like it would be a positive thing, but alas: as it turns out, “the best song ever” isn’t necessarily a song you would actually want to listen to. Once a band reaches that four-decade mark in their existence, particularly a band such as CHEER-ACCIDENT, who have travailed so much aesthetic ground during this time, you just know that they have a veritable treasure trove of flotsam and jetsam (in varying degrees of “fi”) lying around, just waiting to be turned into a whimsical encyclopedic series of semi-random aural events. This Is That. “Fringements Two” is the second chapter, wherein CHEER-ACCIDENT avails to the public documentation of intimate practice space encounters, obscure demos, and even some “slicker” recordings that just never found a home on any of their other releases. Each glass-mastered compact disc comes complete in a matte-gloss six panel gatefold jacket, jam- packed with extensive liner notes on each and every practice space encounter, answering machine message, demo track and previously unreleased studio recording. “one of the greatest, most challenging, and most fun bands that Chicago has ever produced - and their music will always transcend genre and hype” - CHICAGO READER “it’s impossible to say what’s going to come next - just one more thing that makes Cheer-Accident truly progressive” - BANDCAMP DAILY
