Bricks Are Heavy
L7
The album captures a reckless, confrontational attitude common to the early nineties underground. It remains a major document of the Los Angeles scene, utilizing distorted, heavy riffs to convey a sense of defiance.
Butch Vig handled production, applying a sheen that helped link punk ethics with the mainstream grunge movement. The songs mix sludgy melodies with a high-octane spirit that sounds just as confrontational today as it did upon the original release.
