The Story
Butthole Surfers and Matador Records present the 2024 remastered reissue of "Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac". It's the band's first full-length studio album, and the first to feature the playing of second drummer Teresa Nervosa, hired shortly after the release of their self-titled EP. The album shows the band taking a more radical psychedelic shift in style from their earlier surreal punk sound. The Surfers make heavy use of tape editing and unusual instrumentation to create a bewildering, almost nightmarish atmosphere prevalent throughout the album. This album has since been highly lauded by critics, who consider it one of the Butthole Surfers' best efforts.
