***The second LP from this inspired Phoenix DIY punk outfit. "Upstart New York label Dot Dash Sounds have teamed up with Paris' estimable SDZ to bang out this sophomore effort by The Sheaves, an outfit of desert peccaries whose swinley snouts have expertly strung together another string of stinging pearls for thine earholes. If the Placebo Records track team had a miler as lopey as this bunch, those trophy cups would have been perpetually brimming with Champagne's finest export."—Tom Lax, Siltbreeze Records

***The Sheaves are five of the proletariat's finest from the sun scorched SW of these United States. A shared love of punk (and all the pre-fixes in-between) informs the overall sound of the group. Starting as a home recording project, they began to play out in 2019 and have self released two tapes. The following year ushered in a period of pandemic home recording, which this album is the direct byproduct of. Influences include the usual host of US and UK punk, kraut, garage, etc., plus the more nefarious (or not so nefarious) music throughout the 20th century. With one foot planted firmly in the past, this is truly muzak to live, laugh, love to in the new roaring 20s.
