We Shoot for the Moon

by Slovenly

We Shoot for the Moon cover art

Operating firmly within the esoteric fringes of the SST label, Slovenly’s complex art-punk reached its creative peak on this dense, challenging record. The band utilizes incredibly jagged, intersecting guitar lines, dizzying time signatures, and deadpan, philosophical vocal delivery to craft an anxious, highly rhythmic soundscape. It stands as a brilliant, heavily underrated puzzle of American post-punk.
