Part two of Bulb Records’ retrospective of all their 7” releases over the years. Most songs clock in around a minute, all are super low-fi and noisy and gutteral. The essence of rock, thrash out garage and freaky noise, distilled to a fine brandy. Its all you ever wanted.
1,2) silly garage “fem” vocals
3) difficult fucked up rhythmic screaming, brief
4-6) noise, play all together on continous
7) brief upbeat fun feel with sax
8) smarmy burlesque blues feel
9-12) noise, all brief, play together
13-15) low fi dissonant no wave DNA’esque guitar w/ clarinet, no vocals
16) like 13-15 but thrashier w/ vocalizations
17) Quintron! Live sounding solo crazy organ
18) child like pitch changed voice over strange casio’ish tones, really weird
19) poundy dirty lo-fi
20) rockin offbeat instrumental
21) almost dirgy
22) noisy
23) garagey, really low-down rocking noise-fest at end
24) thrash out balls out garage, 2 songs in one at end! Noise extravaganza!
25) wow, wall of bash out garage
26) fuzzy swampy upbeat
27) full on thrashout
28) minimal 80’s casio beat w/ lots o’noise, electronics, guitars, etc shifts into a sorta glammy “rock” song
29) slow steady beat, electronics, near spoken word
30) builds in noisy tribal dance fashion
31) FCC full on noise metal
