Pygmy Lush Old Friends

Good lord was this a surprise to my ears, given that I’d held off listening to this lp on the pretence that I thought it would be of the scream genre (especially due to the pg.99 connection), I was taken aback when I finally sat down with the record.

Deep Sleep Turn Me Off

10 Songs, 14 minutes, from that information alone it tells you that this is either a long grindcore album or some cracking punk rock that is self aware enough not to over indulge in their songs.

2009’s Of Trees/Frankfort 7” was one of my favourite releases of that year, which is why I’m grateful that Philadelphia’s Restorations haven’t deviated too far from the original material.
