MESSER FÜR FRAU MÜLLER - LITTLE JOYS (CD)

"Fans of more recent cartoon cocktail excursions by Messer fur Frau Muller are in for a surprise when they check out this 1992 release by the St.Petersburg band. This sound can be safely said to have nothing to do with that. It's as if they scrapped this earlier approach entirely where many bands would have been content simply to rock out ad infinitum. As is, it's a curious exercise to revisit this jerky, clattery mess o' speed metal and sonic sludge with elementary rockabilly guitar and distorted vocals that sound as if a bullfrog is being tortured at the bottom of a well. Little joys indeed." (label info)
