4. ‘Tainted Lunch’ by WARMDUSCHER (UK)

6. ‘Serfs Up!’ by FAT WHITE FAMILY (London, UK)
South-London‘s desperadoes’ third LP is a versatile record of multi-layered tunefulness, hypnotic grooviness and funky psychedelia. Less provocative, but still enough wicked tales and quirky observations. Half speed, half valium. And live still one of the trenchant best!
