Breakfast of Failures

The Blind Shake

A relentless barrage of detuned baritone guitars and stomping percussion. This is muscular, monochromatic garage punk that feels both primitive and industrial.

October 28, 2014 · Goner Records

A relentless, percussive assault that finds a strange, hypnotic peace within its own aggression.

Moments Worth Listening For
The mechanical, repetitive chug of the title track that feels like a factory machine malfunctioning in slow motion.
The way the guitars on Young Carnival Waste stretch into a dissonant, four-minute dirge that breaks the album's usual brevity.
The immediate, skull-rattling drum fill that kicks off Old Lake and sets the tempo for the next thirty minutes.
