GFrenzy – Eel Creek [LP]

"Recorded in Onehunga with a Soundblaster card & Cool Edit Pro software in 2002. Imagine Waikato country guitar carelessly played by tentacles. Beats & riffs sampled exclusively from Glen's friends in Hamilton & Norway's scummy underground, cut up & looped by flippery hands on slippery knobs. With Glen drunk on jugs of red wine & cola, home from his job mowing lawns at the old folks home, singing heart mangling songs of everyday horror through gills & his eyes are slightly too far apart. That's what this record is.

Parasites like Dead Raven Choir, Simon Comber, Pumice & Mr Sterile have covered these songs but this is the real eel oil. It navigates forbidden pubs, abominable funerals & passes out in forgotten creeks.

Glen Frenzy spawned from the vituperative Plop/Oats community in 1990's Kirikiriroa / Hamilton that also threw up Armpit, Dr Fil, Pumice & Biff Bangle. He has also made music with Devoid Of All Mercy, Willis, Steeden Mustic, Teen-X-Ray, Haitaitai Bowling Club, & Grommet. His comics, paintings & animations are as good as it gets. He is my favourite.
