Album Notes & Community Reviews
Solidifying their chaotic, fuzz-drenched aesthetic, the California band welcomed Echoplex manipulator Noel von Harmonson to the lineup for this sophomore release. The resulting jam sessions are a wildly unhinged barrage of screaming garage-psych riffs buried under overwhelming layers of analog tape delay and feedback.
