Well, here we are, I thought we were done with 1986 and all of a sudden a couple more albums got added to the tail end and I looked this up as it was playing and I was agog. Surely this collection of 22 songs was a compilation, no? A pair of records stitched together as a retrospective or something.
Nope. It’s a double album but a New Zealand group that sound like a band that has a back story like they are a bunch of friends who liked to bash out music but, secretly, they murdered one of their girlfriends or boyfriends or something but no one missed him or her so they just kept making music that sounds like it wants to be as good as Charles Manson’s stuff but just…isn’t.
There are 4 sides of ramshackle drunken melodiocrity that sounds like it was recorded in the outback on someone’s shitty 4 track recorder and then buried it in the sand and resurrected it just so Sheffield would find it and make me listen to it.
Stuff like “Creaky Back Stairs” just make this seem like a bunch of bored high schoolers with access to recording equipment.
