Limited 300 only transparent red vinyl LP housed in a reverse board printed color sleeve. Includes double-sided card insert, polylined inner bag, hype sticker, and download code. More brutal sounds from the thriving UK scum/noise rock underground. Louse: purveyors of the finest cellar-dweller scum rock since 2020; a disgusting cocktail comprised of four parts Foot Hair (Box Records) and two parts The Shits (Rocket Recordings), served over a capsized cruise-liner. Described as wielding "damp and sticky instruments," being "rotten from the inside" and sonically "stinking drunk, shirtless with no shoes, crawling around in your head," Louse gleefully pummel one riff into oblivion, deranged howls and punishing buzzsaw guitars growl over driving disco beats and slide bass. A carnival in an open sewer. Creep Call -- Louse's debut LP, after various tapes, live recordings and a split 10" lathe cut with The Shits -- is a true statement of intent. Presented by the magnificent Riot Season, the record is the result of a (wasted) life's work honing and toning the platonic ideal of single-riff noise rock, all wrapped up in a grindhouse, Giallo-flick package. Briefly elevated from the basement, Creep Call was recorded with James Atkinson at The Station House Studio in 2023 and mastered by S. Bishop, so the carnage has never sounded better. Perfectly balanced ugliness drenched in feedback, pumped up with Stooges keys and sax (honk honk) -- the closest thing to experiencing the deafening, goofy, beer-soaked-undergarment chaos of a Louse show first hand. Creep Call features wholesome ruminations on perpetual home invasion, road-side pornography addiction, perfecting a cannibalistic diet, and an unmistakable cowboy/line-dancing anthem. Do the wrong thing, and answer the call.
