VOMITFACE - Hooray For Me LP
Limited edition colour vinyl.
Highly recommended.
Caustic sludge-grunge-pop produced by Steve Albini!
Drawing inspiration from their depressing surroundings (New Jersey) and a shelf full of equally depressing records – Slint, Shellac, and Babes in Toyland, to name a few – Vomitface have quickly become known as New York City’s buzziest “black-surf avant-grunge sludge-pop” band (a term they may have coined themselves). For their debut long-player, Vomitface headed into the studio with legendary engineer Steve Albini. Recorded in two days in mostly single takes, the final product is an album full of sharp, deceptively catchy songs, each delivered with a self-deprecating smirk. The band’s nihilism and generational self-loathing boils over on “Chew Toy,” a five minute dirge that ends with Micah sarcastically showing off his millennial participation trophies ("I hear applause it’s all for me / Hooray for me”).
RIYL: Cherubs, Shellac, Helmet
