'Creep Call' - the debut LP by LOUSE, following various tapes, live recordings, and a collaborative 10" with The Shits - is a true statement of intent. Released via Riot Season, the record is the culmination of a lifetime's (wasted) work perfecting and honing the Platonic ideal of single-riff noise rock, all wrapped up in a grindhouse and Giallo-flick package. Briefly raised from the basement, Creep Call was recorded with James Atkinson at Station House Studio in 2023 and mastered by S. Bishop, so the carnage has never sounded so good. Perfectly balanced ugliness steeped in feedback, bloated by touches of The Stooges and saxophone (honk honk) - the closest thing to the direct experience of the deafening, awkward, beer-soaked chaos of a LOUSE show. 'Creep Call' features healthy ruminations on perpetual home invasion, roadside porn addiction, perfecting a cannibalistic diet, and an incomparable cowboy and line dance anthem.
