Album Notes & Community Reviews

Flipper's second album is a slow, agonizingly dissonant crawl through abrasive noise rock and misanthropic art punk. The band utilizes heavily distorted, atonal basslines and off-kilter rhythms to soundtrack deeply existential, angry lyricism, cementing their legacy as pioneers of sludge and post-hardcore.
