Gang Wizard / Algebrassiere
(Ecstatic Peace) Used Split LP $5.00
Gang Wizard’s “gush of air is free from all known styles. Sure, these young Californians use ‘rock’ tools, but the stuff they get out of them is purist munge,” the un-hoodwink-able Arthur would like you to understand. “It varies between accreted noise-form and the kinda free-plonk that makes hot ducks wiggle from sea to shining sea. Algebrassiere’s blow is sweet and weird in a way that almost recalls some of Smegma’s early early crudity. Stylish!” Paste-on cover art. Numbered edition 246/264
Jekyll Loves Hyde
(Ecstatic Peace) Used LP $6.00
“This filthy, destroyed, early Sonic Youth-influenced album thrives on a bent rhythm playing off the higher frequency guitar attacks with momentum building convergence and space creating divergence,” notes our friends at KFJC. “While they cast their shadow on the lo-fi, igno-rock sound, Gang Wizard smartly explore percussive possibilities within the hard-driving outside rock sound. Clashing, driving, pounding structures ride the waves with an aggressive, instinctive posture that the ultra-meter drumming makes wholly fucked.”
