This is a forty-minute long, three track album that was apparently put together in a day.

It reflects the current live show, is designed to be listened to in one sitting and is also the first in a triptych of records, the next to be released early next year. Well, who says ambition is dead?

Despite the speed with which Preteen Weaponry was assembled, it is an ambitious, cohesive record that sidles neatly between many genres without being bound by any of them. The tracks are all ten minutes plus, and take this time to explore recurring motifs that swirl out of feedback, white noise and bass burbles. Things that seem to start simple redouble in unexpected directions, as the music stays in a comfortable gap between post-rock, sludge and the psychedelic, taking on elements of krautrock as the songs build and build, while avoiding post-rock's stereotypes.
If this is just the starting block in a trilogy, it is time to be very hopeful about the next two releases.
