3th studio album by Red House Painters released on 4AD follows only 5 months after Red House Painters [I] (May '93). Like that, it only carries the title of the band name, thus being referred to as either Red House Painters [II], or Red House Painters [Bridge], with reference to the front cover.
Apparently, the album contains leftovers or songs from the same studio recordings as the previous album. It contains two covers: "I Am a Rock" written by Paul Simon and originally performed by Simon & Garfunkel, and the American national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner" written by the American poet Francis Scott Key.
In my mind this is their so far least interesting album.
