Prick

A defiant, non-linear collage of noise, found samples, and percussive sketches. The sound of a band intentionally sabotaging their own commercial momentum.

It's the Melvins being weird on purpose just to see who sticks around.

A mischievous and confrontational sonic collage that feels like a private joke shared between the band members.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring transition from the soulful street preacher sample in 'How About' into the abrasive percussive clatter of 'Rickets'.

The literal ninety seconds of absolute silence on track 9 that forces the listener to check their audio cables.

The fourteen minute endurance test of 'Roll Another One' which dissolves into a chaotic, repetitive German-language loop.
