In 1987, the Boston resident released a cassette of bedroom recordings called Weed Forestin’ under the name Sentridoh. During Dinosaur’s next hiatus, Barlow and drummer Eric Gaffney worked on a second cassette, The Freed Man. This time Gaffney contributed some songs, and the duo called themselves Sebadoh. Homestead Records picked up the tape and issued an expanded version on vinyl. Soon after its 1989 release, J. Mascis fired Barlow, allowing him to focus on his new band and to recruit bass player Jason Lowenstein. A couple of years and several singles later, Sebadoh went electric. The trio’s next full-length, Sebadoh III featured Barlow and Lowenstein’s acoustic tracks and Gaffney’s electric ones. Gaffney split before touring could commence, and was replaced by drummer Bob Fay. Over the next couple of years, Gaffney rejoined and left the band two more times, taking off for good in 1993. By this time, Sebadoh had solidified its position as indie-rock standard-bearers, alongside bands like Pavement and Sonic Youth. In addition, Barlow was releasing more of his solo Sentridoh material. Before recording the sixth Sebadoh record, Bakesale, Barlow launched a side project, The Folk Implosion, with singer-songwriter John Davis (ex-Palace Brothers). It was with The Folk Implosion that Barlow created his bestselling single, the trip-hop-laced “Natural One.” Written for the soundtrack to the controversial film Kids, the song reached the US top 30. This success also raised Sebadoh’s profile, and the trio’s next record, Harmacy, was its first to chart in the US. Despite this expanded attention, the bandmembers were experiencing some creative friction; in 1997, Russ Pollard replaced Ray. Sebadoh released its eighth and most cohesive record, The Sebadoh, two years later.     Sebadoh Crystal Crossed MP3 Alternative Indie vets hone their basement beats to a razor-sharp edge on this UK b-side, available to us Yanks for the first time via the miracle of cyberspace.
