“Premonitions - The Fantasy”
Trimble grew up in Worcester, Massachussetts and his early twenties released two albums, 1980’s Iron Curtain Innocence and 1982’s Harvest of Dreams. Both records were filled with weird low-fi psychedelic folk and pop and were out very much of the step with the times.
He never had a record deal and never played outside of Worcester County. This was in part because his backing band consisted mainly of 12 and 13 year olds, and clubs concerned about their liquor licenses were not apt to book him. While he saw nothing strange about a 23 year old playing with a backing band of pre-adolescents their parents tended to disagree, and eventually pulled the plug on the whole operation, after which his recording activities ceased.
The two records had a very limited pressing, but slowly over time found fans among music writers and musicians like Thurston Moore. In 2007 Secretly Canadian re-released both albums, “Premontions - The Fantasy” is the opening track on Harvest of Dreams.
