ITCHES - "HOUSE ANIMAL INCLUDED" (ALBUM)

(WSW-021) ITCHES - "HOUSE ANIMAL INCLUDED"

12" VINYL ALBUM

ITCHES are a Belgian garagepunk trio who decided to channel their love for 60's music and record a new album!

"House Animal Included" is an emotionally unstable, love-sick, fuzz-soaked joyride tearing through the dirty backroads of garageland. What started with an obsession and digging through obscure 60's music spiraled into a full-blown fixation.

The album ties together fuzzy, Kinks-like riffs, spaghetti-western whistling, Byrds-esque harmonies, surfadelica and gritty "Back From the Grave"-style shredding into the most daring, refreshing sound ITCHES has produced yet.

The result is a record that is indeed more 60's sounding than their previous recording efforts, but there's also little hints of late 70's punk like The Dickies and even 90's rock band Supergrass. "House Animal Included" is a cool cat: it can be cuddly, it can be angry and most of all it doesn't give a shit!
