Motherscratcher is the fourth studio album by Texas noise rock band Ed Hall, released in 1993 by Trance Syndicate.[2]
Critical reception[edit]
The Washington Post wrote: "Arty primitives, the members of Ed Hall (none of them named Ed or Hall) delight in childish scenarios (like that of 'White House Girls'), simplistic rhythms and noisy guitars."[3]
