On whatever day God created music, it may well have been Gay Witch Abortion pealing across those celestial skies. Don't take this the wrong way. They're no choir of angels. The name alone tells you they might not have immediately been on God's best side. ("Oh, you GUYS," God said to them with a smile.) You can just sort of imagine—amidst all the fires and cesspools and amoebas—the Minneapolis two-man band's unadulterated, minimalist sound.
