Let It Bloom

Sixteen tracks of scuzzy, tape-saturated garage punk. Blown-out production meets 1960s pop hooks and chaotic, harmonized vocals for a wild, unpolished ride.

It sounds like a 60s pop band started a riot in a basement and recorded it on a broken cassette deck.

A chaotic, high-energy explosion of southern garage punk that feels both nostalgic and dangerously immediate.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring transition from the feedback-drenched 'Sea of Blasphemy' into the bouncy, hand-clapping rhythm of 'Can't Dance'.

The eerie, slowed-down psychedelic sprawl of 'Punk Slime' that feels like a bad trip finally leveling out.

The unexpected sweetness of the vocal harmonies on 'Dirty Hands' clashing against the abrasive guitar tone.
