Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as part of a prolific flurry of EPs surrounding their breakthrough 'Vampire on Titus', this brief collection encapsulates Robert Pollard's brilliant, fragmented songwriting. The extremely lo-fi, 4-track recordings mask undeniable power-pop hooks beneath layers of cassette hiss and abrupt edits. It perfectly demonstrates the band's legendary 'hit-and-run' approach to highly melodic garage rock.
