If your preconceptions of Nordic sonic outpour centre around perfectly affable if in no way provocative tweepop propensities, treat yourself and traumatise your ears with Abulia Jubilee, the debut long-player from Uppsala's 'slacker noise rock' upstarts
Tennis Bafra. Inherently recalling recently reunited, skull-crushing hardcore compatriots Refused, Abulia Jubilee is a record dripping in an intoxicating amalgam of Bitch Magnet brutality, Sonic Youth sludge, and the nonchalant recklessness, venom, and vitriol of Craig Nicholls.
Tennis Bafra.
