Lost Time Blues (1995)

As with most releases in the Chrome Cranks oeuvre, this four-song CD EP revels in its smoked-out anti-exuberant exuberance. Sound a bit paradoxical?

As with most releases in the Chrome Cranks oeuvre, this four-song CD EP revels in its smoked-out anti-exuberant exuberance. Sound a bit paradoxical?
