Detroit garage punks Fen Fen have never disappointed me and they won’t on their newest LP either. After their sound seemed to get ever more elaborate and artsy with every previous release, culminating in the almost postcore-adjacent aesthetics of last year’s National Threat LP, this new one feels like a bit of a reversal of direction, reconsolidating their sound with a razor-sharp focus on their garage punk roots in a super compact bundle of eight concise and straightforward yet unshakably engineered ’77- and proto punk-infused garage punk nuggets.
