Strange, noise/experimental sounds from a Seattle duo. Distorted guitars/bass galore with occasionally insectoid electronics. All done up on a neat ‘lil 2x3” CD package.

((((1))) Alien giant caterpillars slowly crawling into ear holes.
(((2))) Fucked up, guitar/bass distortion/note scraping with some sci-fi effects.
(((3))) more of the same as #2 but with minimal bass and much shorter length.
(((4))) Focused on repetitive, distorted notes and strumming.
((((5)))) Evil Venutian lion roars frequently in your face.
(((6))) Same said lion now sedate and purring while space roaches jump to and fro across his back.
(((7))) Chirps, gurgle and electric sawing motions

DISC 2
((((1)))) Metallic scraping, twangy lightsabre vibrations and a donkey flies off into the black hole of nothingness.
((2)) Spinidly, twinky, pieces of guitar and laser gun randomness.
(((3))) High pitched “metalshop on Mars” vibe.
((((4)))) Rhythmic, clanging not far from Sonic Youth’s first EP
((((5))) “Weeept! RrRrmrrrrrrrttttrrrrttaarrrrrrrrr” and repeat 6000x.
(((((6))))) Springy, bassy echoes with a dark, paranoid feeling then gets very warped like Caroliner Rainbow minus their 400 year old signing bull.
