***In 1987, G.R.O.S.S. released Morass on cassette—one studio side, one live side. The former was re-released as bonus material on Harbinger Sound's CD reissue of Nattering Naybobs. Here is the latter, plus 15 minutes of extra astounding unreleased live recordings from 1985-87 for your trouble. "Free jazz firepower is to the fore," observes our comrades at Volcanic Tongue, "With Ayler-ized horns and Borbetomagus-scale form destruction battling against toy orchestras, power-punking loops, syrupy sludge-jams, garage band instrumentals and usurped avant garde modes. One of Smegma's wildest sides and some of the most fucked-up art-aggro to escape the gravity of the LAFMS." As John Hodgman would say, "You're welcome." Full color artwork and labels.
LP $26.95
