the noise
They played it for the first time in Copenhagen on 3 June 1993, and it was conceived at least partly as a nod to Sonic Youth's way with a guitar. It is close to instrumental, abrasive, and short. It came out on the “My Iron Lung” EP in 1994.
The band have said almost nothing about how it was written.
