Thanks Simon. Bummed I missed out on that huge pressing of 10 copies though, lol

sorry, I should clarify. played through the rhododendron last night and thought it was SLIFT-y at times. it's also king crimson at times and refused and smashing pumpkins and hum. it has a lot going on but was a lot of fun. after it ended I felt a lot like I did when I finished the Slift album, it was a psychedelic journey through space but was always rockin'

Frightened Rabbit vibes, there, and I don't *think* it's just the accent?

The Rhododendron bisnes mildly too widdly for me, Fucked Up obviously immense, yeah maybe I tolerate the widdle in certain contexts...
