Produced and recorded over four heady days in December 1992 by former Bostonian and ex-\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/volcano-suns\"\u003eVolcano Suns\u003c\/a\u003e bassist Bob Weston (around the time he started in Shellac), \u003ci\u003eToday’s Active Lifestyles\u003c\/i\u003e hit record store shelves in April 1993. From the whizzing crunch of “Thermal Treasure” to the loping, connective “My Kimono”to the 7-minute-plus blowouts “Stinger (Five Wigs)” and closer “Gemini Cusp,” the album asserted its place as a most worthy successor to \u003ci\u003eCor-Crane Secret\u003c\/i\u003e. The foreboding title of a particularly screechy, fuzzy jam, “Time Isn’t on My Side,” proved to be nonsense; \u003ci\u003eToday’s Active Lifestyles\u003c\/i\u003e has aged beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"merge records","offers":[{"title":"LP (Black)","offer_id":52739227091255,"sku":"MRG040LP","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Download","offer_id":52739227124023,"sku":"MRG040digital","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/3935\/3143\/files\/44dc636f5684ee6a34da68ccbaa29cfcc3b6adf7_d64e4577712538191bb655189854e405fb1b5d26_medium_jpg.jpg?v=1785381565","url":"https:\/\/mergerecords.com\/products\/polvo-today-s-active-lifestyles","provider":"Merge Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
