ALBUM REVIEW: CESSPOOL BY SUNDOWNER

Filthy, abrasive and deeply bluesy. Sundowner aren’t simply throwing distortion at the listener on Cesspool. The constant changes in tempo, unexpected off-beats and spaces between the noise are as important as the noise itself. One listen later, they’ve become an immediate new obsession.
