You don’t need this record. No-one needs this record.
These sixteen low-fidelity self-released tracks by ’70s American teens in thrall to Sabbath, Zeppelin, Tolkein, and weed are a desperate attempt to tickle the palettes of jaded hipster know-alls, and Numero Uno records knows it.
And yet, and yet… the school doodle satanic imagery, basement boogie band chops, febrile as-live production, and utterly sincere foolhardiness of these barely existent bands – Arrogance, Stoned Mace, Wrath – is nakedly compelling.
