This massively expanded version of Skullflower’s 1988 debut e.p. is the addictive noise fix your nan warned you about.
Dumb ugly titles christen filthy dirges of militaristic pounding, unmanly retching, and tidal swathes of space rock guitar sewage.
Often recorded in rehearsal rooms on audibly overburdened dictaphones, Skullflower’s youthful stirrings suggest an obsessively single-minded British Sonic Youth, unencumbered by redemptive hippy dream hopefulness.
Skullflower still exists, though guitarist Stefan Jaworzyn soon split to ply more utilitarian scuzz jazz with the obscurely influential Ascension.
