These Kiwi fucks certainly know how to make a racket. If these guys were pets you might have to keep them at arms length, away from your face and never leave them in the same room as children. Some of the sounds on this veritable repast WILL make you sit up and beg for buttermilk. Other sounds will make you wish you were born with the ears of a shrew. There is quite an array of sonic shenanigans on this cute but thick slab of vinyl. It wears it's drone badge on its black heart. It could sometimes cause confusion with its slowed down vocals and avant-garde musicianship (Am I playing this at the right speed....?? Oh I am , ho ho ho you New Zealanders really crack me up with your quaint ways and musical tomfoolery. This is a pretty good release that should slide into your record storage space quite well. Maybe with a satisfying "Thwwip" type noise.

Some time ago, I got a message from Stefan Neville about this record: "I been workin on some recording for you. some dumb punk slop and some tape loop soup and a pretty love song." I couldn't describe the record better. It's maybe the end of an era for Pumice with his 8 track pushed to its maximum limits and dying soon after these recordings were finished. So the result is maybe one of the noisier Pumice records to date... with a pretty love song. Recorded in june 2009 in Sandringham, Auckland, NZ. And mixed in january 2010 at Mainz.

Black vinyl packed in black paper silkscreened by Cotoreich, with 2 postcards. Artwork by Stefan Neville. Mastering by Aigle noir. Limited to 500 copies.
