But yeah there was a time when I too thought MMJ were going to keep making records like Z, and then they kinda faded out of my consciousness.
Still, great record that.

Definitely a great record.
I was encouraged back in 2012-2014 by some great indie releases from Black Bug (the world never knew thee!), Dub Thompson, Thee Oh Sees and more. Now (Thee) Oh Sees release a record every eight months and nobody cares; Dub Thompson never became a thing; Black Bug broke up after releasing perhaps the single best scuzz-noise-industrial-punk album of the decade (Reflecting the Light), and bands like Perfect Pussy just fizzled and died.
Cat Seat Headrest still makes great indie rock. Fan base is a little uppity, but damned if the music isn’t smart, catchy, genuine and ass-kicking. Apart from them/him, I can’t think of much else that’s been consistently good and big enough to keep going in recent years.
But yeah. Z is good.
