Generica is the collective title of a series of five EPs released by Jon Crosby, lead singer and founder of the rock band VAST.
The collection of songs was also released as a double-album with a plain white cover featuring Crosby's name and the album title, containing slightly different mixes of some tracks.
[1] In late 2007 and early 2008, Jon Crosby released five download-only EPs on the band's website, under the collective title Generica, which was to be "an exploration of people, places and American music."
Crosby stressed the difference between this outfit and VAST: When we put out "April" we were toying with the idea of releasing it as a JCRB album because the style was such a departure from previous VAST music.
As we were recording the songs that would eventually go on Generica five we planned on putting them on a VAST album.
