According to front man Eric Bachmann, We spent like 5,000 to make it. Icky Mettle spent twenty-two weeks on the CMJ charts, and Interview declared it the Best Indie Rock Album of the Year. The album ranked number 32 in Pitchforks original Top 100 Albums of the 1990s list, and Blender ranked it at number 56 in their 100 Greatest Indie-Rock Albums Ever list. In a 2005 interview with The Triangle, Bachmann reflected on the album: When we first came out we had that ener. Raw, swirling, and remarkably brash, Archers of Loafs debut, Icky Mettle, helped to establish the North Carolina band as a force to be reckoned with in the pantheon of '90s indie rock. With their layered, guitar-heavy approach and driving energy, the album feels like an artifact from an alternate time line where the Pixies decided to get more and more aggressive after Surfer Rosa. Though the band doesnt completely eschew the idea of harmony, they certainly take a more smash and grab approach to it, paving the road to sonic bliss with destroyed amps and shredded vocal chords.

The strain in Bachmann's voice as he sings clearly, this is your loss in prescient hipster diss Plumb Line is devastating, a crack of self-doubt that masterfully undermines the pointed decisiveness of Bachmann's language. Taken from the newly reissued Archers of Loaf album Icky Mettle, out now on Merge listening to Icky Mettle, you feel included, like they're the crew you've known your entire life. The fact that it's both very relevant today and a thrilling snapshot of the restlessly creative 90's underground is no small achievement. The early material is interesting, if only to hear how Web in Front and Wrong were fleshed out on Icky Mettle. But it's the album, and The Greatest of All Time, that are the real draw here.
