They have self-released an epic 18-track double LP album entitled \"I Need to Go to a Hospital,\" a follow-up of their debut 12\" EP, \"Not Beer,\" released on Violet Times.They deal in a high energy avant garage rock sound, using polyrhythms, jazz scales, unusual time signatures and chord progressions. Their influences range widely, from 70s Detroit punk, 60s psychedelic (especially 13th Floor Elevators), to elements of jazz, classical and international (they cover Japanese psych legend, Justin Heathcliff). Gunn trained under Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band guitarist Zoot Horn Rollo, and the influence shows. They are loud, bizarre, catchy, obnoxious, energetic, chaotic and sometimes pretty. The line-up consists of 2 guitars switching off lead and rhythm, vocals, keyboards, drums and occasional theremin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hi-Voltage Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42340609261623,"sku":"772208","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/6218\/8087\/files\/a0047308233_2.jpg?v=1785366876","url":"https:\/\/hivoltagerecords.com\/products\/blimp-i-need-to-go-to-a-hospital-lp-new-local","provider":"Hi-Voltage Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
