Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jun 29 2026

“This album is listed in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, which describes the band as creating "a mix of sheer abuse and welcome diversity, for a truly challenging listening experience“. This is just another way of saying ‘it fucking sucks and no one likes to listen to it, but it’s different from the mainstream so we’ll just add it to the book
