“Colossal” by Scrunchies ()

“The latest album from Minneapolis’s own ‘post-everything’ group, Scrunchies, hits the mark on just about everything. Recorded and mastered by Steve Albini via analog tape, Colossal sounds beautifully straight out of 1990. The influences on Colossal come from all over–vocals akin to Babes in Toyland’s Kat Bjelland or Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna, all with unique lyrical surrealism. The album begs for the listener to turn inward and explore within themselves, which makes for a captivating listening experience, especially for those local to the Twin Cities.”
