Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

the rich guy in short jeans wins by TKO, every time he gets into that neck-vein-bursting screaming match vocal at this consistent a level is a work of art to me. Keep it weir'd every day, this one just writhes with that exciting spontaneity and beefy tone
