Jungle Rot · George Brigman



Jungle Rot - George Brigman [1975]
Sometime during the 00s the Jungle Rot album got reissued on cd and it was this photo that caught my eye in a magazine. Three young burnout dudes hanging out in an abandoned house in nowheresville USA during the mid 70s. 

If someone told you this opening title track was a Chrome demo from 1977 you'd believe them, with its fantastic acid fried fuzz guitars and snarling vocals. 

Most of the rest of the LP doesn't really follow this style. There's a couple of tunes in a similar vein but the rest is more low key, comprising throwback 60s garage and stoner psych noodling. Amongst all that you get a bit of Velvets 3rd, Iggy and some blues. An eclectic curio it definitely is.


It's Misery - George Brigman [1975]
It's the creepy stoner fuzz jamz that this three piece from Baltimore  excel in though.
