Heavy instrumental rock that smacks heavily of all great things: Shellac, Trans Am, Scratch Acid. I hate to use the term “post-rock” but theres something very “Chicago”, very Albini, about the perfection of crunch, the drums, guitar, bass, the space it creates while caving in your brain. Great stuff. Note: every song’s outro is an intro of sorts to the next song, so consider potting down the last ~20 seconds to avoid non-sequitors or cold endings.

1) (8:49) quiet brief intro then onslaught of head nodding EPIC heavy rock w/dramatic bridge and killer bass, feedback outro
2) (7:39) epic toned guitar led jam, upbeat and rockin, totally reminds me of Trans Am
3) (6:15) slow mindful plodding building w/ feedbacky guitars layered subtlely, mellow til mid-way when it crashes into LOUD epic walls of chords and drums, whoa!
4) (7:27) mellow guitar looping, builds into heavy tom tom beat and intense 7/4 complexity, heavy as heaven, heavy as hell, shit!
5) (6:16) walls of Swans’ish heavy pound over your skull turns post rock complex w/ changes
6) (4:34) noisey fade-in intro, then simple guitar and swallowed vocals, midway an intense heavy fuzz bass appears, perfect heavy
