Crutches exerts an unrelenting pressure of dry, flat, gradually shifting iterative pummel. Sifting all unnecessary sugars, moisture and musicality out of things, this album is what I was yearning for when I first heard Shellac. We all have our reference point, though. What's yours?
My favourite No Balls song is the first song I heard from them, whatever it was. albinobone

No Balls apply the familiar battering, repetitive aesthetic to a woodshop full of power tools by the sounds of it. Brittle shards of guitar chime next to squalling, murky psychedelia and crumbling bass (?) all conducting themselves in what sounds to be a military operation to confuse the enemy, render them insensate and hopeless.
For me: Caspar Brotzman Massaker meets Burmese and White Hills, but nobody likes each other. albinobone
The perfect blend of naive enthusiasm and unfiltered rock 'n' roll danger, leading to an explosive, raw sound. Volcanic, pure, and crushing. Bandcamp New & Notable May 30, 2017

A Gollum-like ghoul prances around the charnel grounds, molesting long dead corpses, reveling in rot and playing a malevolent tune on a broken fiddle. Dried viscera and maggot-filled skulls make the fiend's mouth water and genitals quiver. Fires and nuclear explosions rage in the distance as the graveyard creep continues to take advantage of the hastily exhumed. All of this is captured on a barely functioning tape recorder. True Death Ambient perfection.
