Genki Genki Panic is back after their transformative Spooky Fingers EP. While Spooky Fingers felt kind kind of like a soundtrack, Litanies of Surf is a rock record, dialing back the atmospherics, cranking up the volume and the speed, and keeping the anything-goes approach to their song-writing. Less spooky, but bigger and meaner. Less Danny Elfman, more Man... or Astro-Man and sometimes even Cosmic Monster, and maybe it's the bass but I was getting Mike Patton/Faith No More vibes from "Radon Chong".

Now that they're Tupac'ing some new material, I'm especially not buying it. But here's the thing: this is the only Taiwanese surf band I know of. That's plenty enough of a story!
Lots to worry about here. Dr Phobic serves up 10 instro-metal tracks with titles that end with the phobia suffix.
