DeBaser's review praises Wax Chattels' 2018 self-titled LP, likening its attitude to Flipper and noting heavy bass, acidic keyboards and martial drums. The album was released May 18, 2018 on Flying Nun and produced by Jonathan Pearce. The review frames the band in art-punk/no-wave/experimental hardcore traditions.

For:Fans of art-punk, noise rock, no-wave and experimental hardcore; listeners who like bass-forward, hypnotic and abrasive music.

 Wax Chattels is the first eponymous LP from this young trio (Peter Ruddell, Amanda Chang, Tom Leggett) hailing from Auckland (NZ) and was released on May 18th on Flying Nun Records, a label that should be included in the world cultural and natural heritage protection program for its contribution to the history of music and, more generally, to the creation and dissemination of a vibrant counterculture in New Zealand.
