Emergency & I, the Dismemberment Plan's third album, came out on DeSoto in 1999, and it sounds like four guys from Washington, D.C., trying to cram every idea they've ever had into one twitchy, brilliant record. J. Robbins and Chad Clark produced it, most of it cut at Water Music Studios in 1998 with extra work at Inner Ear. Travis Morrison sings and plays guitar alongside Jason Caddell, while Eric Axelson's bass and Joe Easley's drums lurch between punk jitters, rubbery funk and dance-floor stutter.
Critics raved at the time, about the playing and Morrison's words alike, and when Barsuk put it out on vinyl for the first time in 2011, a fresh wave of listeners hailed it as a landmark of indie rock and the Plan's finest hour. It's the album they're best known for, and the band's fingerprints turn up on later D.C. acts like Q and Not U and Black Eyes.
