Originally released in 1988, Today marked Galaxie 500’s quiet but seismic debut, redefining rock with its stripped-down, emotive sound. Forgoing theatrics for raw feeling, the Harvard trio—Dean Wareham, Naomi Yang, and Damon Krukowski—crafted a dreamy, reverb-soaked atmosphere that influenced bands like Low and Bon Iver. Produced by Mark Kramer, the album’s understated songs like “Tugboat” and “Flowers” still feel timeless, living up to its enduring title.
