from Mathieu Duval's 'My Record Collection' website: 'The quality of the Sunburned Hand Of The Man's discography might vary quite a bit, but when their standards are high, the results are usually amazing! This is one of those cases. Imagine yourselves Throbbing Gristle collaborating with The Doors. Things couldn't possibly get groovier then on Adult Costume, that fuzz bass is a killer! It'll have you bobbing your head and tapping your feet involuntarily. Even on the opening The Fuck Face, you get a pretty fucking decent stoner tune with slow riff and all. The fuzz bass makes a welcome comeback on The Main Vein. Much noisier this time around, but no less interesting. With Jaybird and The Secret In Disguise, Complexion completes my holy trinity of SHOTM records. I let go of my vinyl edition once Very Friendly released this on CD.'

Complexion is a document of a live concert recorded by Sunburned Hand of the Man -- who had been crossing continents for nearly two years at that point -- at the Somerville Community Growing Center in Somerville, MA in August of 2004.
