Calling All Cars on the Vegas Strip

A gritty concept album blending sludge metal weight with ethereal pop melodies. It feels like a neon-lit noir film set in the underbelly of 1980s Las Vegas.

1998 · Capricorn Records

A desperate, neon-lit journey through urban isolation and grit.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden shift from the abrasive sludge of Code Escovedo into the surprisingly melodic, grunge-inflected hooks of Superman.

The way the guitar feedback on Ruin and Pink Chiffon swells into a massive wall of sound that feels physically heavy.

The hypnotic, repetitive drum pattern on Model Year Blowout that mimics the feeling of falling asleep behind the wheel.
