Review of Help!


I don’t like to throw phrases like ‘Punk Genius’ around for no reason, but this album, written and recorded all in one single evening, seems to deserve the label.


It’s like, a bowl of whipped cream and BBQ Shapes for breakfast,

or a 4am fire alarm that starts a party,

it’s like that weird, hot night when you went walking at sunset and didn’t stop until it rained, when you kicked the puddles and came home covered in mud and filled to the brim with the glow of your own, personal, real, sincere weirdness…


This album is weird, and really noisy, and fast, and there’s this killer riff that’s kinda like, y'know, fat and heavy but it’s been cut up and mutated and then there’s the one slow track that’s just as distorted and noisy as everything else, and then at the end when a harmonica player showed up at the bedroom studio uninvited and played a solo - holy shit it sets the song on fire.


The album is about 20 minutes long.


And that’s all it needs to be.


Grab the album on bandcamp.
