GH’s contribution is “junglist hardcore stripped of its percussion,” and these three tracks seem to have found their author with his head shaved and shoved in a dungeon. He’s only got rats and recording hardware for company, and some dark shit’s about to go down. If Howell’s parent genre is witch house then this EP is its blackest possible cauldron.

“The Unsinkable Fats Domino” is immediately, indisputably a Guided by Voices track, and that cruddy lo-fi sound, like cassette tape left under a gentle sun, sounds more refreshing than ever.

The single sixteen minute piece plays as a sort of bridge between Pink’s early, tape strangled anti-pop and his newly hi-glossed, disco-leaning new wave. It’s just nominally qualified and low stakes enough not to be unfairly judged as the follow-up to one of recent indie rock’s most unexpected watersheds, but oddly zany, topically steadfast, and catchy enough to appeal to both Pink diehards and recent converts alike.
