The earliest recorded material from Frog Eyes' archives,committed straight to tape (no mixing, no overdubs) in early 2001. Emboldened Navigator features their most lo-fi, frenzied, and powerful recordings. Features the classic Frog Eyes line-up of Carey Mercer, Melanie Campbell, Mike Rak and Spencer Krug. Echos of the best moments of The Fall, Pere Ubu, The Birthday Party and even Tom Waits can be heard here (through heavy murk and hiss). Released in an edition of 500 copies, these songs have since been included on the expanded reissue of their second album, The Golden River, courtesy of Absolutely Kosher.
