Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the fringes of the Los Angeles avant-garde scene, this eclectic collective continued their bizarre, highly complex musical experiments. 'Never Creak' balances disjointed, zolo-inspired progressive structures with a distinctly American, slacker-rock nonchalance. The record is a highly sought-after rarity prized for its utterly unpredictable compositional shifts and quirky surrealism.
