***Dark times call for dark music. MANATEEES are one of the most menacing punk bands around. And, their long-awaited debut LP is a brooding, nasty, desperate masterpiece. Manateees lay waste to all sunshine pop and “post-punk” with track after track of rage. This record is a nasty, cruel journey into distain. Loud, proud and mean as shit (except for the track about being bathed by owls, which is charming). Previous releases on Goner, Tic Tac Totally, Total Punk and Jackshack.
