Album Notes & Community Reviews

Before evolving into polished architects of neo-psychedelia and shoegaze, the London quintet debuted with this chaotic, intensely gothic blast of B-movie garage punk. Dominated by Farfisa organs and Faris Badwan's shrieking vocals, the album is a theatrical, campy homage to 1960s psychobilly and vintage horror aesthetics.
