Blown-out garage punk with haunting 60s pop sensibilities. A scuzzy, tape-saturated collection of anthems for basement shows and backwoods bonfires.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into the nine-minute psychedelic sprawl of Super X-13 that closes the record.
The way the harmonies on M.I.A. sound like a 60s girl group recorded through a broken walkie-talkie.
The frantic, stumbling drum fill that kicks off Jumpin' Around with pure nervous energy.
