In This Perfect Hell

Dirty Water Records goodness – Japanese fuzz garage revival. What you’d expect from this label: bad ass sneering fuzzed out garage. Remember: Guitar Wolf came from that island that we poisoned with nuclear bombs. Godzilla may have been fictional but searing Japanese psyche garage is definitely not. Jesus and Mary Chain come to mind sometimes but mostly The Mummies, Mono Men, all things Estrus Records. All songs catchy and fun. Play with all the other excellent garage hitting the afile right now.
