2.5 averageEggnog Addict | January 23rd 24

sum riffs but nothing too absorbing, random industrial and a country strum, a stoner closer, silliness without aim

3.9 excellentErwann S. EMERITUS | November 18th 20

Produced by John Paul Jones (!), Independent Worm Saloon sees the band muscle up and make their psych rock heavier - almost stoner - at the expense of the noisy experimentalism sported by their 80s albums. This is thus less gripping, but a newfound coolness emerges from this stylistic change: the 'Surfers are not as obtuse as before. Sure, some moments are there for them to remind you they like to fuck around a bit, but overall the album is - almost, they conclude the album with a noise improv jam - as digestible as any alt rock album of that era. It's heavier, more psychedelic , and noisier than their counterparts, but the 'Surfers still successfully softened their formula while still swaggily rocking out.
