APE! | Hunting with the Lord | LP

Description

Ape’s Hunting With the Lord is a weird one. Good weird. Weird good. This (yet another) Philly three piece brews up a head scratching, poppy, heavy strangeness, the kind of thing that gets under your skin and infects, changes things at a cellular level, not unlike what happens when you first throw on a Cherubs or Ween record. It’s scuzzy and catchy and unsettling, loud and infectious, recalling the sleaze n’ grease vibe of Lubricated Goat or Cosmic Psychos drizzled with some stoney, lo-fi Mudhoney psych fuzz. Hunting With the Lord is Ape’s first album for Reptilian, and third album overall. It was recorded in the band’s own Creep Studios, possibly under the influence of substances, possibly not, then mixed by Arik Victor and Reptilian Pontifex Chris X. Ape is now on tour and in costume, coming to a poorly maintained club near you.
