Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating firmly within the fiercely independent British DIY network, this eccentric collective crafted a wildly unpredictable third album. 'The Gates of Lunch' merges jagged post-punk rhythms with surreal humor, tape manipulation, and sudden shifts into jangly pop melodicism. It remains a prime example of the era's underground oddities, celebrated by collectors for its uncompromising rejection of commercial polish.
