Spirits Dogroll by Teen-X-Ray is a burst of chaotic DIY spirit—punk energy colliding with lo-fi noise and gleeful absurdity, bottling the restless spark of New Zealand’s underground.
The record is a rush of serrated guitars, clattering tape loops, and irreverent vocals, constantly twisting between noise and melody. Each track feels like it’s been flung together in the moment—wild, unpredictable, and impossible to pin down—yet it’s exactly this reckless spontaneity that gives the album its charm.
Teen-X-Ray thrives on disruption, using humor and absurd turns to push their music into strange new spaces. The production is scrappy and immediate, amplifying the sense that anything could happen next. What emerges is both exhilarating and endearingly unrefined: a celebration of raw invention over polish.
For listeners drawn to outsider punk, noise, and experimental pop, Spirits Dogroll is essential—a document of DIY creativity at its freest, and proof of the enduring vitality of New Zealand’s underground.
