“Sonic scrapbooks, audio montage, bedroom cuttings of riot girl and post-punk in all of their old and new iterations; this is the sound of black and white photocopied fanzines with frayed edges and still-hanging staples…”
new album
A little earlier this month ROTR had the pleasure of previewing one of this year’s finest and most frantic of records. Well, needless to say we wanted more. And damn we got it with a Q and A and get to know…
“We don’t always get to hear the mind of the creator. And this is that mind with little or nothing more and it’s beguiling…”
“All inhabitants and tourists have been warned. On November 29th of our year 2024, there’s a stomp to end all stomps here in Big Mountain County and you can either stay indoors and shy away, or get involved one communal purge of gluttony…”
“A myriad of ideas all burnt down to a crisp with a negligent sci-fi brevity. So compact are the sounds and the hits of impatience that it’s every post-apocalyptic film in one trailer…”
Being the Fritch of Simesky+Fritch I couldn’t with good ego go and write a review. But I can say it’s out now, and it’s been out for a while, and I really should posted this earlier!
“‘On and On and Gone’ will be their first studio album in close to six years, so expect some more previews and singles. But for now, soak it up, suck it in, sup it sleazy. That first taste licked a high grade first date…”
“So here we are now in ’23 with the yet to land LP ‘New York City’. All the mess and the pump’s back in style…”
“As with all things The Men there’s one question: Which iteration is your most preferred? All you suckers for Nuggets and Pebbles and Sleaze are guaranteed to find sinew to chew on…”
“Defiantly oddball, endearingly goofy, grin pleasingly off-kilter cute… Welcome to the world of Gus Englehorn, where the main and only question that bites your ass urgently is ‘who the New-York-Fuck is Gus Englehorn’?”
