The Masters Bedroom Is Worth Spending A Night In

The Masters Bedroom Is Worth Spending A Night In is a shining example of top-shelf garage-rock. The songs here are about 3/4 riotous rockers and 1/4 hazy, trippy detours, and the album is sequenced quite perfectly to space the latter out amongst the former in a very pleasing manner. It's also the sort of album so consistently great that picking highlights becomes a near-impossible task.

Everything hits hard and powerfully while retaining a lo-fi psychedelic scuzziness. The vocals are an androgynous sounding combination of John and Brigid's voices and everything has tons of reverb. This album is also the point where the band reinvented their sound, having previously been more of a mellow experimental psych-folk kind of band. Here, the folk elements are replaced with post-punk and garage.
