Quite proud of this one. It has some personal significance since I was making it while moving/preparing to move from the house I grew up in.

These were some of the last songs I listened to there.

15 Holy Fuck : Jungles
So, what does everyone else think of this recent trend of bands with 'Fuck' in their name? And 'Crystal'...I'm waiting for a band called the Crystal Fucks.

If I had to describe Holy Fuck to someone, I'd say that they're like Ratatat, but harsher.

Lovely mix. You should give Neon Bible another chance. It is a powerful album in its entirety. No Cars Go, is my personal fav on it.
