Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Portland-based duo delivers an overwhelmingly abrasive and intentionally ugly sophomore album on the notoriously noisy Load Records imprint. Drowned entirely in severe lo-fi distortion and tape hiss, the incredibly chaotic tracks bury primitive garage punk and frantic drumming beneath a nearly impenetrable wall of psychedelic noise rock.
