Track by Track Review
Surf Rock (Instrumental)
"The Bee" is a dark riff rocker with gnarly sax and grode garage ethics. Tribal drums and sleazy arranging. While greasy rock'n'roll tuff, it's not melodic enough to really make a lasting impression.
Surf Rock (Instrumental)
Dark double picked grodiness with raspy sax. Riff rockin' in the way many instros were back in the day before surf, but "El Kabong" is surfed up with reverb and glissandos that meander up and down the neck.

Murky surf in a frat rockin' primitive vein. The band members are not in sync, seeming to be playing without listening to each other, adding to the frantic primitive energy here.
