Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating under a newly truncated moniker, John Dwyer's relentlessly prolific garage outfit delves into heavier, fantastical territories. Featuring dual drummers playing in frantic, locked synchronization, the album pushes their signature fuzz-drenched sound into sprawling, motorik krautrock jams and blistering heavy psych. It proved their ability to consistently innovate within their established sonic boundaries.
