High Rise - Psychedelic Speed Freaks '84-'85 (1997)

| Noise Rock | Psychedelic Rock | Garage Rock |

PSF '84-'85 is, as the name suggests, a collection of early songs (not to be confounded with HR's first album, Psychedelic Speed Freaks). This is also their harshest and fastest album (which, by High Rise's standards, already says a LOT). Sounds like they've recorded this stuff using Merzbow's laptop and then put it twice faster. It must be nearly impossible for psychedelic rock to be louder or quicker than this. PSF '84-'85 makes harsh noise and speedcore bands sound like Jonas Brothers. The recording is visceral and psychotic as hell, and would exhaust even the most hyperactive kid in the block. Needless to say, run far away from this if you can't take massive destruction into your ears.
