A gritty, tape-saturated collection of early sketches. High-speed surf riffs collide with basement-recorded drums and buried, yearning vocals.

Listening to this album feels like discovering a dusty cassette tape in the glove box of a car that has been sitting in a sun-scorched driveway for years. It is the sound of Surf Curse in their most skeletal and honest form, stripped of any studio sheen and reduced to the friction between a distorted guitar and a frantic drum kit. The production is so lo-fi that the tape hiss becomes a third member of the band, adding a layer of ghostly atmosphere to every track. It is music that feels private, like you are eavesdropping on a rehearsal where the stakes are somehow life and death.
