Grong Grong (album)

Grong Grong is the eponymously titled debut studio album of Grong Grong, released in 1986 by Aberrant Records.

Reception

Allmusic awarded Grong Grong two out of five possible stars. Spin compared the band favorably to The Birthday Party, saying "Grong's sound screeches and shimmers smoothly in vibrato-drowned squiggles" and that the songs "only hint at the dark, heavy, and twisted minds behind this flat black slab." Deborah Sprague of Trouser Press was especially complimentary towards guitarist Charles Tolnay, saying "where his fine abstract-expressionist guitar mist was subordinate to a series of overly pious Birthday Party eulogies like "Poor Herb" and "Louise the Fly."
