About

Ethyl Meatplow's only album, 1993's Happy Days Sweetheart, seemed to dare music taxonomists to classify their sound. It's simply not possible to call their postmodern potpourri of smash-and-grab sampling and musique mechanique either Industrial or Psychedelic or dance or what-have-you. The album's stand-out track "Queenie" is a raunchy pelvis grinder that is the group's finest moment, despite being far too profane to ever find itself on a radio playlist.
