SMELLY TONGUES "Slack Heep" LP

Debut full-length album from Los Angeles' SMELLY TONGUES, featuring members of RED AUNTS, THE PIRANHAS, WHITE SAVAGE, SYZ, STATIC STATIC, DRUID PERFUME, INTELLIGENCE, THE BAPTIST CHURCH, and others. “This new concoction thrusts forth with such a promising post-punk stab in the chest, it's gonna take at least one outfit change and several hospital visits to get yourself straight. It's chock full of those sticky push and pull downer dilemmas that will make you miss work and daydream yourself into a nervous breakdown, sweating and waiting for something that used to scare you as a child, and eagerly staring down the ominous, hideous hooks. 'I can't help it, I'm obsessed, you're the best' has never sounded so perfectly uneffected and deranged, and it's with these razored chops that Smelly Tongues chop rigorously through the lush vegetation of modern primitivism and burst onto the unsuspecting faces of America's broken avant garde with the confidence and swagger of a jackal on a weekend death trip.”—Todd Killings (Urinal Cake)
