Butthole Surfers – Rembrandt Pussyhorse – Vinyl, LP, Remastered, Matador, 2024

Butthole Surfers have announced their first batch of REMASTERED reissues in collaboration with Matador Records certain to raise the roof for a lot of people who thought they had a pretty good handle on the outer realms of the ‘80s indie-rock scene.

‘Rembrandt Pussyhorse,’ mixes rock-based form destruction with experimental, tape-mangling passages of many flavors.

Their live shows became legendary examples of excess and derangement, and their music just kept getting louder and stranger and more savage. It was the diametric opposite of the hardcore scene from which it had emerged, which was heading in ever more codified and stylistically conservative directions.
