I Can See You

Black Flag

Four tracks of jittery, post-hardcore tension. Spoken word accusations meet atonal guitar work in a final, bitter transmission of punk paranoia.

1989 · SST Records

Find on Amazon

A sharp, claustrophobic exploration of personal betrayal and surveillance-state anxiety.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the repetitive, paranoid mantra of the title track into the frantic speed of Kickin and Stickin.
The uncomfortable, conversational spoken word intro of You Let Me Down that erupts into a raw, accusatory shout.
Greg Ginn's angular, almost free-jazz guitar soloing on Out of This World that feels like it's physically unravelling.
