12 Bar Bruise
Well I ain’t dumb
But I ain’t that smart
And I can’t spell
But I can sound it out
Release date: 7 September 2012.
The debut album. Surfy, lo-fi, and slightly trippy Garage Rock. This album was partially recorded on iPhones and serves as means to an end, delineating all looser prior material and establishing KGATLW as a fully functioning band.
Distribution necessitated the founding of Flightless Records, the independent label that published all the work of the group for nearly a decade.
The album cover was the first by Jason Galea, now considered a member of the group, who as well as creating most of the other visual work of the band, has designed every cover since.
What to listen to next:
- If you want a step up from the (literal) tin shed garage style production quality
- If you liked the narrated track, Sam Cherry’s Last Shot
I’m familiar with the main albums and want to go deeper:
