2012

The groundbreaking demo from Crazy Spirit that, from seemingly nowhere, dropped their fully-formed and twisted vision on the world. Dark and claustrophobic, with table-saw guitars, galloping drums, and a Darby-back-from-the-dead spitting and sneering everywhere. In case you missed it, or can’t remember this far back, this demo shook the map of DIY hardcore punk for its unique and unsettling sound; blending aspects of 1980s Italian, Brazilian, and North American punk with diverse elements like bluegrass and international outsider folk music from the 1930s onward. A masterpiece debut that the band continued to build on for years.
