Limited edition gold colour vinyl.

Highly recommended.

Every now and then here at Strangeworld, we become aware of an artist before they break onto playlists worldwide, saturate your television/device screens or become darlings of the festival circuit.

Upon first hearing the as-yet-unreleased debut by Pennsylvania three-piece Laurel Canyon, the hairs on the back of our neck rose and we sat up and took notice, immediately emailing the person responsible for sending us the mp3s. Wow. Rough Trade obviously also took notice as they requested their own colour pressing (now sold out).

What do Laurel Canyon sound like? Guitars are drenched in an Asheton worshipping haze and pummel, melded alongside a Velvets chug and mid-to-late 80s Pacific Northwest guttural/primal howl... this is American primitive music at its most powerful.

Pigeonholers beware, this album takes its cues from all the most potent places… Funhouse, Loaded, Green River, early Sub Pop, all providing valid reference points.

In amongst this over-amped harmonious murk are 10 visceral and catchy pop songs practically screaming for attention, the core members of Serg, Nick, and Dylan have created a beast of a record.

Some tracks were recorded with Steve Albini, some with Bryce Goggin and all were mastered by Howie Weinberg.

There’s also a sold out 7” with Savage Pencil screen-printed, numbered and signed artwork we’re about to enter into the website.
