Album Notes & Community Reviews
Widely considered the release that fully solidified the group's signature sound, this four-track collection marries driving motorik rhythms with dense, fuzzed-out indie pop. It features the earliest recorded appearance of Mary Hansen, adding crucial vocal counterpoints to L忙titia Sadier over the analog synthesizer drones. The EP heavily foreshadowed the sprawling, hypnotic krautrock revivalism they would champion throughout the decade.
