Album Notes & Community Reviews

Consisting of material recorded during a single marathon session in August 2008, 'Oblivion Hunter' captures the duo's signature frantic energy and hyper-distorted instrumental interplay. The release serves as an archival bridge between their major studio efforts, highlighting Brian Chippendale鈥檚 tribal drumming and Brian Gibson鈥檚 processed bass explorations. The tracks emphasize a lo-fi, visceral production style that mirrors the intensity of the Providence-based band's legendary guerrilla-style live performances.
