Laundry's first of two records. Almost sold out & will not be restocked.

"A simple trio of tweaked guitar, walk-down bass, and percussive swish play out barroom nightmares with tragically human swing." - Puncture (Portland)

"A 40's gumshoe dick pulp story put to music" - Alarm Clock (Minneapolis)

"Cortese's voice and pseudo-beatnik bass explore truly uncharted sonic territories of despair and clarity, of obsession and sex and pain and loneliness and other intertwined states." The Stranger (Seattle)

"If you get your jollies drinking to he Hi-Fi sound of despair, then this album is for you." The Rocket (Seattle)

"Junky, lounge-lizard music" - Fact Sheet Five (San Francisco)

"It's relieving to find something so unNorthwest in Seattle." - Pandemonium! (Tacoma)

While passing through Seattle in March of '93, Jerret Cortese met up with friend and fellow Chicagoan Charlie Smyth, who was hard at work draining the rainy town of its microbrews. Cortese stuck around, and the two, joined by drummer Scott Griggs, formed Laundry as an antidote to Seattle's grunge-steeped music scene. After a year focused on live performances, Jake McCarter replaced Griggs on drums, just prior to recording their first full-length CD "The Well".

Laundry's sinister, post-punk lounge sound and madcap narratives set them far apart from the wash of 90's rock, and quickly earned them a cult following and high praise from local press. The trio eventually became a local live show favorite, drawing in excess of 300. Laundry also opened for a variety of national acts, including Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Cows, The Coctails, Neurosis, Morphine, Mule, and Congo-Norvell.

In '96, Laundry released "Momentous", their second and final full-length release. Engineered by the Northwest's legendary Kearney Barton, and recorded in just five days, Momentous faithfully captures the feel of Laundry's impetuous, jazz-tainted live performances.

The group disbanded in 1997, after a botched attempt to relocate to NYC. "The Well" and "Momentous" remain as relics of a unique, heavy lounge sound.
