Young girls, little people, blood, sex ‘n’ violence have been explicitly expressed via song and performance as the Dwarves spill seed into their third decade.
They’re capable of staggering work, showcasing a retardedly advanced sense of melody, yet they put out disappointments between great records. Like this one.
