Bufo Alvarius
(Drunken Fish - DF15) Used CD $10.00 (Out-of-stock)
Their 1995 zoned-out stoner-psych debut album in service to an hallucinogenic toad. Fuzz-soaked weirdness clouds the loosened-up blues rock and coarse melodies. Includes the 29-minute non-LP track “Amen.”
Via St. Louis

Under Glass
(Drunken Fish - DFR44) Used CD $6.00 (Out-of-stock)
The second album by Bardo Pond and Roy Montgomery, who in 1998 churned great slabs of guitar and keyboard drift, deep-ended bass grooves, staggered rhythms, and topped it all with a kiss of flute and quiet mumble. Fifty-six minutes.
At Swim 2 Birds

Infrantumi
(Drunken Fish) Used CD $7.00 (Out-of-stock)
The Italians legends’ 1997 follow-up to Sinistri maintains the unique approach to decimated sound arrangement. Sampler, small mixer, analog synth, digital multi-effect, electric guitar, cheap transistor amp, low-watt monitor, vintage drum kit, turntable, and that’s it. For recording they used mini-disc four-track recorder and a single microphone.
Godspeed The Static
(Drunken Fish) Used LP $9.00 (Out-of-stock)
The San Diego mutants “at their loosest and most formless” with “moments that are quite interesting — a lengthy chunk of ‘Kick Penmanship’ is taken up by a clanging, staccato guitar riff and stuttering snare drum” — the Nihilist Spasm Band meets Spike Jones & His City Slickers. Stenciled spray-paint front cover, paste-on back cover.
