After the release of Trip Shakepeare’s debut—Applehead Man—band leader Matt Wilson’s brother, Grammy® winning songwriter Dan Wilson joined the fold as a permanent member. The original trio became a quartet and self-released Are You Shakespearienced? in 1988.

Omnivore is pleased to continue following the legacy of Trip Shakespeare with a reissue of the band’s 2nd album—which now includes 9 bonus tracks, 8 previously unissued.

Are You Shakespearienced? (co-produced by the band’s John Munson) will be released in a digipak with liner notes from Jon Niccum (author of The Worst Gig), and previously unseen photos. The LP (first pressing on translucent green vinyl, with black to follow) contains the original nine tracks, liners and photos, and a download card for the entire CD program.

Are You Shakespearienced? would find Trip Shakespeare not only being courted by the major labels, but eventually signing to A&M Records. Later, John Munson and Dan Wilson would go on to form Semisonic, but now is the time to get Shakespearienced!

With the addition of singer/guitarist Dan Wilson (brother of founding member Matt Wilson), Trip Shakespeare hit their stride on 1988's Are You Shakespearienced? An unusual mix of jangling power pop, '70s soft rock, and arty psychedelic flourishes all caped in an eccentric Northern mysticism, the Minneapolis-based group was completely unlike anything else at the time either locally or nationally. The ambitious harmonies and artful songwriting approach introduced on their 1986 debut Applehead Man became fully realized here, as they now boasted three strong lead singers whose rich vocal blend fell somewhere between barbershop and a vaudevillian Crosby, Stills & Nash. Between the sweet, high tenors of the two Wilsons and bassist John Munson's warm baritone, they cast a captivating spell weaving tales that melded weird fantasy elements with a staunchly romantic regionalism. They were also a beast of a live band, having spent the previous two years slaying Midwestern audiences with their strong musicianship, amusing rock theatrics, and innate charisma. Like those other Wilson brothers out in California, Trip Shakespeare's attention to intricate vocal harmonies led them to hold endless rehearsals in order to capture their ambitious arrangements live, an approach they also employed on the Shakespearienced sessions. Self-produced and recorded almost entirely live in the studio, the nine songs here represent the band's untarnished vision both creatively and aesthetically. It's no surprise, then, that the album yielded several of what came to be considered their signature songs, like the riffy, harmony-stacked "Reception" and the whimsical mini rock opera "Toolmaster of Brainerd," a centerpiece of their live show. However, the track that probably best encapsulates Trip Shakespeare's strange magic is "The Lake." With its spare, dark groove and punchy call-and-response chorus, it tells the tale of an adulterous communion as witnessed by the unblinking eye of a pike in a cold, Minnesota lake. Arguably too clever for the masses, the band still managed to score an eventual deal with A&M on the strength of both this album and their highly devoted fan base. [The generous bonus material on Omnivore's excellent 2014 reissue reveals just how refined a palette the group had developed, as many of these unreleased tracks would have made fine additions to the album's original playlist. The angular pop stunner "Earth, by Revolving" is the brightest of the bunch, but even at their goofiest on the Munson-led slow funk jam "Car," they still find a way to insert a dreamy vocal section worthy of Odessey and Oracle. Other bonus highlights include the warm-hearted crowd favorite "Look at the Lady," the Beatlesque "Stories End," and a delightful fledgling version of their future classic "Snow Days." Taken with or without the new additions, Are You Shakespearienced? is an outstanding document of a truly original band in their prime.]
