Techie-fuzz feeds back over nymphic girl voices, sighing major key fantasies over syncopated heartbeats. For so much buzzy noise, this is very gentle stuff.
One minute it’s feedback and synthesizers, the next (by way of awkward transitions, most of the time) it’s Huntington Beach circa ’83, spiked mohawks and all.
Sublime resurrected Secret Hate when they covered their ska-flavored “Ballad of Johnny Butt,” so it’d follow that the one EP they recorded is mandatory.
Unparalleled in its multi-dimensional brilliance: An album full of rippled horizons, maddening crescendos, overwhelming subtlety, and unworldly melodies.
Too little, too late. A good album, Dirty And Divine songs remixed by the likes of Lucid, Robin Guthrie, and MAIN, but the original album was released in 1996.
