Album Notes & Community Reviews

Constructed around a primitive, deeply influential three-chord guitar riff and punctuated by a bizarre ocarina solo. The remarkably sloppy, lustful vocal delivery and crude, heavily distorted instrumentation made it a definitive, highly enduring anthem of unpolished garage rock rebellion.

Genres

Descriptors: repetitive, minimalistic, microtonal, unpolished, vintage
