Belly struck alt-rock radio gold with their 1993 debut “Star” and its single “Feed the Tree,” but the follow-up is definitely underrated. Made with new bassist Gail Greenwood and producer Glyn Johns (Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones), “King” added heft and crunch to Belly’s signature bewitching sound and spawned three singles: ‘Now They’ll Sleep’, ‘Seal My Fate’ and ‘Super-Connected’. This 30th anniversary edition has been remastered and pressed on green vinyl, and is the album’s first reissue since its original 1995 release.
The hope is that enough people were turned onto Tanya Donelly and Belly when “Gepetto” was played during the “Doomcoming” scene in the first season of Yellowjackets. And that led them to the band’s brilliant second album, “King”, a tremendous creative jump in the eternal promise the group displayed on its 1993 debut, “Star”, with such blissfully infectious songs as “Red,” “Silverfish” and “Now They’ll Sleep.” Out of print on vinyl since its original release in February of 1995, this 30th anniversary pressing of “King” was cut on green wax and limited to 4,000 copies.
