Collaboration LP between Rob Enbom of Eat Skull and Beth Murphy of Times New Viking. Skirting a kinda similar turf to both of the motherships, Hole Class cut up their punk lo-fi attack with fuzz bass, unarmoued male/female vocals and song fragments in a way that makes you think of a slightly tougher take on the K sound, with an almost Calvin Johnson-esque delivery buried in pile-ups of acoustic/electric structural confusion. Some of the tracks are just straightforwardly beautiful, less about destructo aesthetics and more about pie-eyed emotionalism and personal resonance. Guided By Voices is a reference that always seems to orbit the Eat Skull cultus and there’s definitely a bunch of that here two, with the combination of short, classic pop/folk/rock songs and raggedy ass aesthetics proving as potent as anything from Pollard and co.

Excellent debut LP from a guitar/bass/drums trio that features floating Eat Skull member Karianne power-crying her way through some beautifully shrill high-end garage lurk that combines a crude post-Velvets sensibility with DIY chops, cranky riffs and the perfect destructo atmosphere that would reconcile punk and psych in nada fidelity.
