"One of the best things about vinyl is that even in its small 7-inch format it lets you appreciate artwork so much better than CD’s and tapes. And that’s something you come to realize only in special occasions like this one. The cover of Glen Iris seven inch made me feel joy. It looks like it was drawn by a retard. And maybe it was. Once you get to the music and you listen to the incredibly retarded way in which vocalist Chris Strawn sings on top of their rowdy garage blues punk you come to realize that this may be a joke or that the vocalist is indeed retarded and is brushing his teeth at the same time he is singing. But that’s cool. This Atlanta trio are going for the odd angle. Maybe ironic is not the word. Maybe having fun is all that matters. The music is cool. On the first track the band shows the noise, the distortion. On the flip side not so much. And yet, I love the guitar sound. Odd yeah. Good, yeah that too. Bizarre, surely, perhaps too bizarre for its own good. It reminds me of a super lo fi and more guitar oriented Ween. This comes courtesy of Dirty Slacks Records."
