Epic garage rockin surfiness. Old school stalwarts back with searing rockin, big assed pounding. Epic as shit with some incredible quality production, cool synth embellishments. This will put hair on your chest (or scald it off). All tracks on the short side, many instrumentals. See also the Mermen, JFA, Mono Men, and pretty much any band on their Estrus Records label.

1) (3:13) choice searing surf, upbeat rockin instrumental
2) (2:35) driving even harder, vocals appear
3) (2:46) cool pounding overall, with buried heavily treated robotic “vocals”
4) (3:15) epic rock, with vocals
5) (1:57) strange subdued synth thing, weird
6) (3:01) tom tom pounding beat
7) (2:37) spy feel sorta with vocals, radio reference might be fun for airplay
8) (3:09) spaghetti western flavored surf
9) (4:06) some synth in here, with vocals, heavy rockisms
10) (2:15) trippy synth
11) (4:03) vocals, simple rock with Sonic Youth guitar refs and sound samples
12) (2:44) quiet fade in, epic surf rock to end the cd
