Unknown-ness: Never heard of the band. Not much to go on with the cover, name, and lack of year/song titles on the back. So i'm guessing it's something minimal, no wave perhaps?

Album Review: At first listen, the album is all feedback noise and sludgy bass...it took me a couple listens to recall that there were vocals. But with more listens (perhaps just a closer listen), reveals some beauty to the chaos. Labeled as Psych music, most of the reviews label the record as driving, drudging, sludgey, heavy. All agreed. The two friends from Australia and NYC drummer only put out this one record. Part of the Lost Bitches song reminds me of Belly's mystical nightscape songs. Otherwise, I don't have much knowledge of other bands to relate here.
