Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Purge + Slouch' further crystallizes Howe Gelb's distinctly unpredictable, sun-baked vision of alternative country. The Tucson-based collective embraces a thoroughly ragged and spontaneous recording approach, weaving noisy, distorted experimental rock jams directly into dusty, Americana song structures.
