This nightmarishly sprawling and screamy punk/noise/prog/something/sludge trudge is torturous and tantalizing. Unwieldy and wild to put it lightly, forever fidgety and frequently ferocious; but for 90something jarring-ass minutes my eyes widen in awe rather than roll in exasperation -- in full band mode they go so hard+heavy it's impossible not to be impressed-n-intimidated, yet they chase such brazenly scuzzy extremes and spread the creepy basement psych so absurdly thick that it turns comical and uninhibited. Throw in some spoken word+whimpers, some glitchy ambient dream scum, a jungle tribe thing, fuckin' around on flutes like a group of 4th grade music class nuisances; and you've got quite the spectacle on your hands. Start-to-finish listens are probably best left for masochists, but considering the complexity and ceaseless surprises and intense-bizarre-fun combo? I'm on my 6th or 7th time.
