The Drones' fourth album, and one of their most sonically expansive, was written and recorded in near-total isolation in a forest cabin in rural Victoria - in Australia rather than London SW1 - running on diesel generators and hold-my-beer grit. That feral setting bleeds through the record's punk blues, scorched folk and sizzurped noise, with Gareth Liddiard delivering knotty, difficult-to-parse lyrics full of folkloric angst. It was one of the band's final releases before splintering into Tropical Fuck Storm, and it captures them in full primordial soup mode. This double vinyl reissue restores a vital chapter in Australian underground rock, overdue for rediscovery.
