Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Leeds quintet channels blistering, feedback-drenched krautrock and relentless garage-punk energy on their explosive sophomore record. Driven by persistent motorik drum beats and MJ's desperate, buried vocal wails, the incredibly loud, psychedelic jams perfectly replicate the chaotic intensity of their acclaimed live performances.
