Crank this to 10.3 of 11 - Editors' Pick
Released: 2021
Genre: Garage rock
Sounds Like: Bo Bud Greene, Transition, The Jesus Lizard
Homeland: Atlanta, Georgia
Album Overview
The wildly diverse garage and psychedelic rock trio have delivered an absolute gem
Ten tracks commencing with hardcore punk further circling a deluge of euphoric introspect
Tremendous chemistry and vision. Raw and detailed hitting blissful angles
Pulling in influences from some of our favorite early 90s bands but molded into their own masterpiece
Yes garage rock might be the backbone here, but vertebrae extend outside the skin into progressive, jazz, and math rock surfaces
