Babes

A distorted, unofficial artifact of 2009 noise-pop. Blown-out cassette recordings where surf melodies collide with chaotic, hyper-active percussion.

It's like a surf-rock tape that's been left on a car dashboard for three summers and then played through a broken amp.

A frantic and claustrophobic explosion of garage-punk energy buried under layers of tape hiss.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the sudden intrusion of Zach Hill's hyper-kinetic drumming against a simple surf riff

vocal melodies that struggle to stay audible above a thick wall of tape hiss

the way a track abruptly cuts off into pure static before the next one begins
