these guys.. came up in my youtube recs i think? weird, shambolically compelling video herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frqb6prcIMA
something abject and genuinely off about them, which endears to them me greatly. i guess it reminds me of australian psych indie.. blank realm? syd barrett? anyway feels perfect on a woozy rainy london day like this one

that video really is something else. the shit-stained public toilet is gross, but i appreciate acknowledging what is commonplace in the men's public restroom scene but rarely shown or spoken about outside of it

Yeah I like this. Just read their backstory, was not familiar with Fat White Family, but no wonder they sound a bit off. Streaming the album now.

oh my god, this is Fat White Family associated? those guys are fucking nuts, not in a good way. opened for them once, instead of soundchecking they asked the club owner where they could buy crack

Lead guy here was apparently kicked out of FWF for drugz. But allegedly cleaned up now and buds with Sean Lennon so who knows. I like the album so far, got some of that lo-fi weirdo pop vibe of, I don't know, Jazz Butcher, Felt, early Robyn Hitchcock?

This is a weird line to draw; or at least a weird way to judge musicians of rock bands by. Most of them are fucking nuts. Most of the musicians you like are probably high and fucking nuts.
Having that said, the song linked by Tracer in the first post is rather pedestrian and wholly underwhelming. Dud.

Has any more been said about this on other threads? I'm only really listening to it for the first time and it's intriguing. I don't know if that means I think it's good yet. The Quietus placed it as No.1 of their half year list. The second track reminds me so much of Psychic TV's Godstar.
