Triple A 7” EP from this excellent, crude Detroit underground group who channel classic lo-grade DIY moves ala the Desperate Bicycles cultus via the more raggedy ends of the Killed By Death/Bloodstains camp. Think Injections play Modern Lovers produced by Jim Shepard. Recommended.

Debut LP from this group after a buncha collectable 7s. The sound here is less overtly DIY than their early sides might suggest, with an uncanny feel for rock-form freedom that at points sounds as lubricated as Dez Cadena-era Black Flag if they hadda been shooting for a more specifically post-Beefheart freak aspect. The whole group have a lolloping, crude desert feel that combines garage gasoline and feral/sophisto Trout Mask smarts like no one this side of The Flesheaters, even as they reduce the pugilistic hardcore of that group to monosyllabic extended single chord jams and choruses of leary tongue. I mean, it’s still possible to hear alla the UK DIY influence that scarred their singles but there’s something more classic USA garage wipe-out to this album that makes it sound even meatier and worthy of repeat spins.

Supremely crude LP from Tyvek, with original demos recorded in 2004 finally making it to wax in an edition of 500 copies with full-colour paste-on sleeves. If you dug the Blunt Instrumental EP that came out on Night People then this is another blast from that particular garage, with a fantastically primitive sound that explodes aspects of The Fall, early Redd Cross, The Rats and The Afflicted Man with all of the non-musicianly élan of your favourite DIY no count. I mean, I dig the Siltbreeze LP and all but this is my kind of meat. Highly recommended.

Best volume yet of this great on-going limited compilation series that takes the temperature of the underground circa now. Exclusive tracks from Vivian Girls, Blank Dogs, Times New Viking, Intelligence, Guinea Worms, Sic Alps, Thee Oh Sees, Tyvek and Pink Reason. Epochal and highly recommended.
