Kids, man. Night Wounds made this while living in LA (it would seem they've relocated to Portland). Earlier efforts were sort of stock no-wave bang that left me wanting for something not so obviously derived from source inspirations, and in a way this sort of settles that out into something listenable. You'll hear three kids put tunes where only noise should go, saxophone bleating atop of wobbly post-punk, but also a sort of thousand-yard stare lunacy that music like this really needs in order to get by. There are a couple of cuts that make it just by virtue of their tenacity, and truth be told, the drummer has tightened up the screws enough to make this a reality. Branca-esque riff windmilling really saves the session here, and if they stick it out for another record or two, something really special is bound to happen for them. Edition of 500 in a silkscreened sleeve.
