This one's also called the "Swiss Cheese/American Cheese" split, because there's a Swiss band (Designer) on one side and an American band (Bunnybrains) on the other... the Bunnybrains offer up more of their ambivalently-constructed psych-prog-punk, hard to believe these guys used to be on Matador, home of Perfume Genius... the Designer side kills me; once it gets going, "My Favorite Toy" sounds like Miss Piggy singing for Strangulated Beatoffs, while "Beach Bum" is full-on punk rock and sounds like Rot Shit, or whatever the '90s Swiss equivalent of Rot Shit was. Whomever rescued these two tracks and brought them over here deserves a freakin' medal... apologies for the extra crackly goodness, but whaddya want, it's cheap punk rock vinyl.

I came to check the Bunnybrains, I left with Designer. 'My Favorite Toy' is slaying me. Thank you!
You're welcome!
The kid on the guitar (in the photo) is killing me, too...
