Ah shit - London and Brighton

Crazy bars on that grime track. And matey’s enthusiasm is great
Think I saw Brutus supporting Russian Circles a few years back - they were pretty good live

Fuzz bass, primal minimal drumming, amplified banjo scraping, freak-out organ solos, yodelling and tonsure haircuts!

“Monk Chant”
“Complication”
“Cuckoo”
Good stuff!
