Description

Thor's Hammer
Umbumbarumba  
UK Parlophone export EP
1966  

EX / EX (original OCS)

Side One: My Life / Better Days 
Side Two: I Don't Care / The Big Beat Country Dance  
There is a click between tracks on side one that is during the dead groove and does not overlap audio at all.
Copious amounts of fuzz guitar, lashings of explosive feedback, snotty punk-ass vocals, absolutely berserk drumming and other bracing elements of this true monster.
MONSTER TIME!

--------------------------

All the Parlophone tracks are incredible, "I Don't Care" is certainly one of thee nastiest garage numbers of the '60s. The drumming on all the EP cuts leaves Keith Moon in the dust!
Special mention should be made of the folkier numbers on the 45s as well. They are amazing both musically and lyrically, particularly coming from Icelandic teenagers! "Once" is about the most crushingly sad and poetic love song I've ever heard.
