In late 2013- Preoccupations - then known as Viet Cong - released a small-run cassette EP only available on tour. Over the course of a year Matt Flegel and Scott Munro worked in their basement studio with a mess of old and run down equipment to build a set of fresh material. Joined by bandmates Daniel Christiansen and Michael Wallace the band completed work on an debut cassette. What emerged from the studio was a mixture of sharply-angled rhythm workouts and euphoric '60s garage pop-esque melodies balanced with a penchant for drone-y VU-styled downer moments and became a hard-to-find classic.
