The Age of Backwards E.P.


The Age of Backwards E.P. was the first release by the short-lived band The Spells, a collaboration between Carrie Brownstein and Mary Timony.
The group also released a second E.P. entitled "Bat Vs. Bird" in 2008, consisting of material recorded in 2000. It contained 4 songs and totaled about 9 minutes. "Bat Vs. Bird," with its more prominent percussion and overall "full band" sound, was more of a promise of what was to come from Wild Flag, which is composed of Mary Timony, Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, and Rebecca Cole.
