#3800 Flat Worms - Antarctica

3/5 an underwhelming followup to Flat Worms' blistering debut

s/t was hot and fast, songs about Texas, acceleration, hot sands, motorbikes

Antarctica is, well, about things cold and slow, and it's just a mismatch to their strengths

And there's not the same urgency - I find out only afterwards that Ty Segall (!) and (!) Steve Albini are on board and, I don't know maybe that's just too much effort in play, some spark got blanketed. There's hooks, crunchy production, but it's Dad's clothes
