Ian Forester and Drew Shreve, the Dirty Dirty duo have created an album that feels like you are climbing up a ladder: while going up rung by rung, you are a little nervous and excited for what’s about to come. It’s pulled by the instantaneous ignition of Forester’s engulfing voice. Made whole by the fuzzy toned bass and Shreve’s kicks, clicks, and clashes. Blasting you full force into their debut LP, Anxious Electric Auto Erupt.
