One Sock Missing
One Sock Missing is the second album from the Grifters, released in 1993 on Shangri-La Records. "Certainly the most low-key (if not lo-fi) of the Grifters' early records, 1993's One Sock Missing is less noisy and aggressive than its immediate predecessor, So Happy Together. "One Sock Missing signals the direction and sound the band would work on throughout their career . The album's name may be a reference to missing socks.
