Hold It In

A collision of sludge metal legends and psychedelic pranksters. Heavy riffs meet power-pop hooks and avant-garde noise in a restless, weirdly catchy experiment.

It's the Melvins if they decided to write a pop album but got distracted by the Butthole Surfers halfway through.

A restless and playful collision of heavy sludge and psychedelic pop hooks.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring transition into the sugary, almost radio-ready power pop hooks of Brass Cupcake

The massive, twelve-minute slow-burn descent into feedback and sludge that closes the album on House of Gasoline

The way the guitar tone on Bride of Crankenstein manages to feel both impossibly heavy and weirdly nimble
