G.I. Jinx: Mind Freak 12"
After years stewing in the solvent-scented janitor closet of Montreal’s noise rock pantheon, G.I. Jinx have manifested an unsettling and unrelenting debut album for those who crave their headbanging as much as their total zonal dropout. All hope abandon ye who enter here, for Mind Freak melds distorted, churning fuzzed-out guitar riffs with sprawling, feedback-drenched psychedelic leads, hypnotic rhythms, and eerie impassioned vocals in a unique Inferno of existential chaos, surreal theatre, and universal dread. It is an album that pulsates with doomsday imagery, eldritch mysticism, dark dreams, and darker desires amidst its frenzied noise and seductive grooves.
With members drawn from such titans of Montreal’s eclectic and diverse underground as No Negative, Security, No Joy, Panopticon Eyelids, Fly Pan Am, and Dernier Sex, G.I. Jinx have carved out a disquieting identity that is uniquely theirs, balancing the propulsive riffing of Flipper and High Rise, the aggressive sludge of Upsidedown Cross and Brainbombs, the bodily groove of Black Sabbath, and the dissonant, off-kilter guitar work of Sonic Youth.
Mind Freak is co-released by Celluloid Lunch Records and the resurrected Psychic Handshake Recordings. G.I. Jinx’s music is loud and uncompromising, guaranteed to captivate witches, cave dwellers, acidheads, and all shades of freaks in between.
