album info

heatmiser’s first full length release. this album has a hard post-punk rock sound which tends to take fans of their later work by suprise on the first listen. despite the heavy use of distorted guitars, the album is chock full of the melodic and lyrical style that neil gust and elliott smith would become synonymous with later in their careers.

available on cd, cassette, and vinyl lp
