In 1985 they were still the sole province of hallucinogen-soaked punk rock freaks. By 1988 they had toured Europe, had records licensed internationally, and bought a house in Driftwood Texas to serve as their home base. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Without anyone looking over their shoulders, the band really rose to the occasion with <em>Locust Abortion Technician</em>. From the opening track, 'Sweat Loaf,' which quotes Black Sabbath with results both hilarious and bowel-stomping, to the scuzz-guitar riven 'found' vocals of '22 Going on 23,' <em>Locust</em> is a non-stop face-full of hallucinogenic gas. Maniacal sludge guitar figures and Gibbytronix vocals are smeared everywhere, with most excellent results. For many folks. <em>Locust</em> represents the album with which the Buttholes fully fulfilled their insane potential." - Matador</p> <ul> <li>black vinyl pressing</li> <li>remastered audio</li> <li>original release year: 1987</li> <li>music label: Matador 2024</li> </ul>
