Latino Bugger Veil presents the long-awaited vinyl reissues of Butthole Surfers’ first four full-length albums.

Originally released between 1984 and 1988, these classic and influential LPs capture the band at their peak, drawing from punk, rock, psychedelic and experimental influences for a truly inspired and unmistakably unique sound.

Widely considered to be the Butthole Surfers’ crowning achievement, 1987’s LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN plays to the Texas acid-rock band’s strengths, unveiling one twisted tune after another. The album begins with “Sweat Loaf”, the group’s skewering of (and/or tribute to) Black Sabbath’s “Sweet Leaf”, and then moves on to the sinister, lumbering “Graveyard”. As always, the gleefully subversive ensemble’s calling cards are Paul Leary’s blistering guitar lines and Gibby Haynes’s maniacal yelping and distorted crooning. Although the Surfers aren’t afraid to offer up a fairly straightforward punk song (the rocked-out “Human Cannonball” hints at their future accessibility), these mad sonic scientists seem most comfortable making listeners uncomfortable, as on the closing “22 Going on 23”, which happily and intrepidly pushes the limits of offensive subject matter. Though some Surfers diehards (particularly those frightened by this record’s surely Gacy-inspired clown face cover) favor the group’s earlier work, most fans will attest to the bizarre majesty of LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN.
