Condition: Brand New
Flippers 1982 debut remains one of the most uncompromising statements to emerge from early San Francisco punk. Released on Subterranean Records, Generic Flipper rejected the eras faster-shorter-louder arms race in favour of something heavier, slower and far more corrosive.
Recorded between 1980 and 1981, the album thrives on tension: Will Shatters molten bass and dual vocals with Bruce Loose, Ted Falconis scraping, glacial guitar and Steve DePaces blunt, repetitive rhythms combine into a thick, confrontational mass. Its playful and paranoid in equal measure, wilfully abrasive yet strangely hypnotic.
The lyrics cut deep. Ever opens with stark existential dread, while Sex Bomb stretches into an eight-minute churn of looping bass, saxophone and effects, pushing punk towards something closer to nihilistic art-rock.
