Album Notes & Community Reviews

Restores the Swedish group's incredibly rare debut EP from the early 2000s. The recordings capture their formative, lo-fi blend of driving post-punk basslines, primitive drum machines, and walls of shoegaze distortion, laying the blueprint for their beloved, politically charged dream pop. The long-awaited vinyl reissue finally made these essential foundational tracks accessible to a wider audience.
