Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed debut full-length from the quirky New Zealand quartet is a dizzying, hyper-energetic collision of ragged guitar noise and bizarre pop melodies. Anchored by the frantic vocal interplay between David Saunders and David Mitchell, the intensely playful record injected a vital, slightly unhinged punk spirit into the late-period Dunedin Sound.
