Chingön Recörds is a small, independent record label based in beautiful Strong Beach, California.
We've been eagerly anticipating the full-length debut by Ashes.Are.Nutritious for a while now, and are proud to work with them on the sale of this great disc.
FRUSTRATION+ is a bold, ambitious, and ultimately fulfilling collection of driving, innovative, and exploratory rock 'n roll. The disc careens back and forth between the searing aggression the band alluded to on their previously released self-titled EP (which you can also pick up at the Chingön Recörds cyber shop), and dark, free-roaming improvisations that give the listener a glimpse into what is likely a large part of the band's creative processes. It's a unique perspective providing the feel of both the energy of their live performance, and the inner-workings of the band's song-writing mechanisms.
It's an ardent, high-reaching success.
