loose framework and kinetic devils make for a transparently unhinged EP. Hoarse disney villain melt to he's gone. Summer 84 flowing treasure.

Raucous bold brushstrokes of back porch shenanigans. Well-oiled

comfy laser beam perfection, picture frame tornado help slip frank. confident and strutting slick delivery with keen shining soaring cresting jamming akimbo and moth bondages shattered into remnants of gooey honeysucked peaces.

bit of a sleeper tune for me that has earned my respect as one of the dead's best late set whoppers on par with Wheel, NFA, Dew and stella. jer's delivery is incomparably sickness
