Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating without a bassist, Jon Spencer's New York trio violently deconstructs traditional delta blues and 1960s garage rock through a lo-fi, punk lens. The resulting breakthrough album is a sleazy, high-energy distillation of rock and roll excess, driven by frantic dual guitars and Spencer's heavily distorted, howling bravado.

Genres
