Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed at Leicester Polytechnic, the septet's debut thrives on intense, repetitive krautrock-indebted grooves and abrasive guitar textures. The chaotic dual-vocal interplay between Linda Steelyard and Mick Derrick鈥攐ften sounding like two people arguing over a hypnotic rhythm section鈥攂ecame the hallmark of their distinctly dark indie-rock aesthetic.
