Stomping, loud, dark psych-rock plus wild avant/improv jazz, with Sam Coomes of Quasi doing vocals, and a host of great local jazz/improv guys (Gino Robair, John Shiurba, etc.). Big, heavy, noisy sound that owes a lot to acid-drenched rock, loud and thick, as well as free jazz weirdness. Verges on metal, sort of. Play it!
Lyrics on 4,7,9... the rest are instrumental.
1- Drone, big and loud. Quiet start, just to mess with you.
2- Monstrous attack: Heavy guitars, Coomes screaming stuff.
3- Fast skronky intro! Into a heavy swaying number, lots of background chaos
4- Drunk, off-balance swirl. Poppy, Quasi-like vocals blurred by the overall weirdness of the surroundings. yeah!
5- Swampy bouncy heavy. Screwy synth rhythm. Midtempo.
6- Fast, dire, relentless.
7- Rock song, heavy mid/fast, psych-rock feel. With vocals
8- Slow, mysterious, lingering.
9- *FCC* twice in the last minute. Loud stomping, opens w/big motorized guitar swirl. With vocals.
10- Hoedown, in an off-kilter drunk rock kind of way
11- Lingering organ tones and "ahhhs" with screechy guitar; explodes into a menacing attack, then loud eerie chaos.
12- Big, loud, slow guitar attack.
