Love me some stoned psychedelic noise, especially when said noise is made by former members of in-the-red noise-punks Long Legged Woman. CCR Headcleaner’s self-titled tape has the kind of shambling, overblown bedroom dirges and migraine-pounders that leave you just a wee queasy at 4 in the morning after all-night tear. To these ears, it actually sounds like the most ghostly and trying moments of Long Legged Woman’s tour CD-Rs, the ones that only superfans like me own (and like), but actually realized as legit exploration and not just byproducts of weed consumption.
