As we approach thee end of 2010, we open the gun locker, gaffer tape a flashlight to our pump action shotgun and slide into the vietcong tunnels of what went on this year. There be monsters there. Being the all encompassing unstandardised weirdoes that we are, we make no attempt at ranking our choices, or…
Our heart kin, Salem, have been good enough to stitch together for us a disarming patchwork of haunted juke hall malevolence, cave crunk atmospherics, brain breaking tekno noise, and crackling transmissions from a childhood spent floating down beautiful starlit rivers in the constant glare of hidden monsters. Thank you smoke. Tracklisting::: 1-PEARL – Pearl’s Dream 2-NEOPHYTE…
