Get Here and Stay is the second full-length album by the American indie rock band 764-HERO.[1] [2] The album was released on Up Records in 1998.[3]
Critical reception
Spin deemed the album "a cool glass of lo-fi."[4] The Times Colonist called it "feedback-drenched guitar chords and some of the most pained, emotive vocals to come out of Seattle in years."[5]
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram listed the album as one of the best of 1998, considering it "modest, guitar-driven love songs."[6] The Seattle Times thought that "Polly Johnson's casual, understated drum playing should be studied by every rock drummer who equates 'loud' with 'good'."[7]
