Girls.Suck.But.YOU.Don't Is The Third Official Full-Length Release From The Flashbulb. The Subtitle Of The Record Reads "15 Tracks From My Hard Drive" And This Amusing Label Is No Misnomer. According To Interviews With Jordan At The Time Of The Record's Release An Upstart Japanese Breakcore Label By The Name Of Accel Muzhik Contacted Him Earlier That Year Desperate To Release Some Of The Musician's Work For Their Own Label. Being In No Mood To Release Another Definitive Work At The Time Let Alone On A Struggling New Label Like Accel Muzhik Jordan Mastered A Collection Of Fifteen Haphazardly Compiled Tracks From His Hard Drive Onto CD And Sent It To Them. Consequently The Album Plays Out Like A Kaleidoscopic Rough Trip Through The Mind Of Jordan On An Off-Day. The Drum Programming Is More Lax And Roughly Assembled On Some Tracks The Sequencing Of The Album Is Abrupt And Scattershot And There Is No Consistent Theme. Even The Cover Art Is Simply Photoshop-Filtered Images Of Mr. Yosuke Nakamura On A Plain Black Background.
