Alien Nosejob - The Derivative Sounds Of... Or... A Dog Always Returns to Its Vomit

Alien Nosejob returns with a garage rock revival that strips back to raw fundamentals. Drawing inspiration from 1960s garage staples and unearthed material spanning 2006-2012, Jake Robertson channels The Troggs and obscure compilations into six tracks of unadorned, energetic rock. Recorded solo in a garage over a single weekend, this album eschews the typical nostalgia trappings of the genre—no affectation, just honest songwriting and stripped-down arrangements. The sixth Alien Nosejob release proves derivative doesn't mean derivative of trends, but rather a thoughtful excavation of genuine influences.
