Album Notes & Community Reviews
Revitalizing 60s garage psychedelia with crushing, fuzzed-out guitar distortion, 'Sound of Confusion' lays the primitive groundwork for the British shoegaze and space rock movements. The band deploys incredibly loud, repetitive drone rock structures to emulate the trance-like states of heavy drug use. The resulting sonic landscape is a remarkably dense, hypnotic, and relentlessly raw debut.
