This was only put online a couple of days ago, but I wrote it about a month and a half ago; it’s grown on me a bunch since. Especially with the recent revelation that the vocals sound like a strange, modulated version of Jon Spencer. This review is not very good, because there are a lot of pretty irritating surface-level breakbeat-type things about the record that I hadn’t let myself get past before tossing off a pretty b-minus review.
Confidential to those who can read my thoughts: The 90’s Japanese group whose poppier material sounds exactly like Skoal Kodiak, the one whose name I couldn’t remember for hours while writing that review—and in the days that followed, for that matter—was Violent Onsen Geisha.
