Album Notes & Community Reviews

Making their Sub Pop debut, the Santa Cruz quintet delivers a blistering assault of unhinged, heavily distorted psychedelic rock. The frenetic production captures the raw, chaotic energy of their live performances, utilizing aggressive Echoplex vocal manipulation and chaotic, dual-guitar improvisation that pushes traditional acid rock into abrasive noise territory.
