was produced by Jesse Turnbull (Netherwilds, Lia Pappas-Kemps, Tokyo Police Club), taking in some atypical instrumentation. Shiv played her grandad's fiddle on "Executionary" and trumpet on "Squealerz", while Violet de Rege-Braga of RrroachhH contributed theremin to "Screens". The album roasts tech billionaires, crooked cops, purity culture, and everyday abuses of power via their bold, joyously ramshackle style of garage-punk.
The band are touring the UK and Europe, with a stop at Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg on 17 September. Their UK run includes shows in London, Brighton, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, and Newcastle upon Tyne. "Screens" is out now.
