"Drooling Hillbilly Metal, Sea Urchin Psychedelia, Yukon Freak Thrash, and Beatnik Swamp Drone are musical genres, like dozens of others, which are in the infancy of their developments. Yet someone has finally harnessed the inside track to claiming a few of these elusive styles as their own creations. AFCGT is a rather convenient vernacular for A Frames and Climax Golden Twins but if you're hopeful that the usual sources are stocked with facts and figures about this outfit, think again. There's not much information available on AFCGT. The cretinous calliope that is AFCGT descends from a decrepit longhouse on the shores of a dark lake where the self-inflicted wounds from a windy forest of flailing, whipping branches gave birth to the white heat oddities from this their self-titled new album on Sub Pop Records. Conjoined a little over two years ago, the group has already been dishing out vinyl; recording a 10-inch EP, a full-length LP, and appearing on a 7-inch compilation not to mention a few super-limited CDRs thrown in for kicks. With 3 electric guitars, a bass guitar, and a drum kit they manage to emulate the decaying soundtrack of an international airport with all the trimmings; accidental runway collisions, air traffic control extremism, unauthorized handling of cargo, and bitching passengers at checkpoint screenings." Both the LP and 7" are on white vinyl.

"AFCGT = 3 parts A-Frames + 2 parts Climax Golden Twins. This is a vinyl release of their self release CDr that was limited to about 75 copies. Those lucky enough to have heard that CDr, along with those who have caught one of this beast live in the past year know just what to expect. Not quite as robotic and structured as the A-Frames, not quite as loose nor remotely as mellow as the Twins ever are. This is a not perfect marriage between two great Seattle bands, this is a raw, noisy, dirty, steamy affair. This record is in the red all the way through, and by the end your speakers should be nearly as blown out as the amps used to record these tracks. Pressed in an edition of 550 on 180 gram white vinyl. Packaged in a tip-on style gatefold jacket with silkscreened art."
