Power Drowning was recorded and mixed in under a week at Costa Mesa’s surreptitiously legendary Distillery—used also by the Seeds, Mika Miko, Rocket From The Crypt and the Black Lips, who flew to California specifically to work there—and released on vinyl earlier this year by Anaheim garage-pop label Burger. Power Drowning’s fifteen songs collide the Adolescents’ blue album and Redd Kross’ Born Innocent with the supercharged teenage melodrama of the Shangri-Las and the tossed-off swagger of the Sweet or Alice Cooper—before his complexion fell apart. Specifically damaged production by engineer Mike McHugh and the Burger production team match Audacity’s characteristically frothing-at-the-mouth live performances.
