Anyway, this arrived at random the other day, and is really quite strange and excellent.

Recorded in someone's house, by a band that barely exists outside the mind of main man Nathan Roche, it's a scuzzy lo-fi classic. The vocals are almost impenetrable, and half of the guitar work sounds like someone practising chords they'd learnt that afternoon. Having said that, it's full of ideas and has an energy which would put most other "real" outfits to shame. There's a reference to Alex Chilton's "Like Flies On Sherbet" in the liner notes- if you're a fan of that (still amazing) bucket of guts, you'll probably like this, too.
