Recorded and released by the Rupenus brothers and friends back in 1981, One Day I Was So Sad… is wild, full of spiralling loops and sudden jump-cuts. It leans heavily into the cut-up / collage aesthetic that was prevalent at the time — see contemporary work by Nurse With Wound. But the most convincing moments on One Day I Was So Sad… are when Bladder Flask relax their hectic energy and allow things to spread out — there’s a beautiful passage for warbling, submerged piano around three minutes into “Musical Behind Head,” as though you’re hearing the instrument through gurgling, babbling water.
