Fresh Meat and Old Slabs

Twenty-two tracks of tape-hiss folk and absurdist storytelling. A raw, unvarnished look at the slacker-blues origins of a 90s icon.

It's like a collection of weird folk songs recorded on a boombox in a haunted apartment.

A strange mix of slacker irony and genuine, dusty loneliness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The deadpan delivery of the increasingly grotesque taco ingredients in Satan Gave Me a Taco.
The sudden, jarring transition from spoken-word anecdote to the rhythmic chant of Trouble All My Days.
The way the acoustic guitar strings buzz and rattle against the frets during the most intimate moments of Hollow Log.
