Goggs - Pre Strike Sweep [CD]

2018 release. With their second album Pre Strike Sweep, GOGGS add a new level of primordial anxiety to their already catastrophic symphony. Recorded and mixed in 2017 by GOGGS guitarist and co-founder Ty Segall, the album explores the damaging affects of modern life before blowing them up one by one. Singer Chris Shaw uses terms like "space rinse" and "roadside surgery" to inform the listener that this is a strange and different trip, far and away from the "Glendale Junkyard" he romanticized in 2016 on their self-titled album. In fact, all expectations brought on by that acclaimed debut are crushed into dust, revealing a new standard by which the GOGGS march thumps.
