    Numbered Limited edition, vinyl LP, 150 copies only, screen printed covers
    Recorded live in the studio at Chells Bells Cuntry studio retreat. ∑GG√E|N’s ∑√|££ LP is ∑GG√E|N’s first full-length studio release. Containing an index of their subtropical goth songbook. Shanties of Oiban dysfunction, Suss Cunts sit next to ditties of Suboiban oinwee, Drinkin’ Stinkin’ Pinkin’ Bar. Slabs of electric distress, Destroy Your Self are juxtaposed by metallic dirges of introspection, Short Back and Sides. Psychedelic doom grind body snatches artist Heath Franco in Living inside an Atom, whilst Marshalls Portable Music machine tells an all too familiar tale of inter-familiar polyamory “my mummy fucks your daddy, your daddy fuck my mummy....”. Finally the nature of contemporary existence is mapped in, W.O.T.W (way of the world), “they fuck with us.... We fuck with them”. But remember as uncle Leonard Cohen said “There are never any dirty words, not ever.”

lyrics

Short Back and Sides
Sit up straight Tuck your shirt in Pull your weight Push your chair in.
Take some pride in yourself.
Brush your hair Don’t you slouch Don’t you stare Feet off the couch.
Speak when you’re spoken to.
Cut your hair
Admit you’re wrong Don’t you dare
I’m too strong.
Look at me straight in the eyes. SPEAK UP! SPEAK UP! SPEAK UP!
Have a shave
Wait your turn
And be brave
Respect to be earned.
GET UP! GET UP! GET UP OFF YOUR ARSE!
Cover your mouth
Don’t talk back
Know what you’re on about Don’t be slack.
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP TO YOURSELF!
Put your rubbish in the bin Wash your hands
Take it on the chin
Your ground you stand.
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP TO YOURSELF!
YOU BETTER WAKE UP
YOU BETTER WAKE UP
YOU BETTER WAKE UP TO YOURSELF!
(No one else is going to do it for you)
