about

One of the best grimy alienating secret gems of San Francisco music, Curse of the Birthmark is finally getting a proper release, and on a great label to boot. Fantastic, bombastic and repulsive, live in the mid-aughts — a broken amp, the cheapest keyboard and a kit that only a mother could love have produced one of the most egregious freak noise dance grooves ever cut into plastic. Not for the faint of heart. For fans of Arab on Radar, Throbbing Gristle, Skin Graft, SIGHTINGS, Scissor Girls and uncombed mayhem everywhere — a perfect soundtrack for a wretched year.

-John Dwyer (Oh Sees)
