Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

Sun-bleached psychedelia where hardcore punk speed dissolves into hallucinogenic country. A dusty, wide-open masterpiece of desert-fried existentialism.

April 1984 · Bug Music

Find on Amazon

A sun-dazed, philosophical journey that feels both lonely and strangely comforting.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the frantic punk energy of the opening tracks into the skeletal, haunting acoustic drift of Plateau.
The shimmering, flange-heavy guitar textures on Aurora Borealis that evoke the flickering of lights in a pitch-black sky.
Curt Kirkwood's voice cracking with an unpolished, vulnerable sincerity during the existential refrain of Oh, Me.
