About the album

The Bobby Lees came together in Woodstock, New York in 2018, named for a ghost singer Sam Quartin swears she saw, and have spent the years since turning up the volume. Their debut won them support slots with the Black Lips and Future Islands, Jon Spencer produced Skin Suit, and they landed on Epitaph, where wild, unhinged garage-punk is very much at home.

New Self keeps it short and sharp: Quartin howling and snarling over Kendall Wind's bass and Macky Bowman's drums on "Napoleon", "50 Ft" and the title track, with "Got Me Good" and "Red Hot" bringing it home. Eight songs at 45rpm is the right dose; any more and the needle might ask for a lie down.
