Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiling the incredibly brief discography of the legendary, short-lived New Zealand noise-rock collective featuring Roy Montgomery. The recordings are enveloped in thick layers of tape hiss, utilizing agonizingly slow tempos, droning organs, and abrasive guitar feedback to create a profoundly haunting atmosphere. It stands as a masterpiece of lo-fi psychedelic gloom that profoundly influenced the emerging post-rock scene.
