Big thanks to Brian Shea for the Neon Crabs review for @monolithcocktail.bsky.social “marvel at the Stooges riffs, the whooshing cold metallic synths and post punk attitude that party together on this fine debut album” monolithcocktail.com/2026/02/16/o...

Here's a bulk release of the incremental tracks that led to the "Textures" album on @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social on.soundcloud.com/uQ0ej9EfGgcN...
