Grong Grong is the eponymously titled debut studio album of Grong Grong, released in 1986 by Aberrant Records.[1]
Allmusic awarded Grong Grong two out of five possible stars. Spin compared the band favorably to The Birthday Party, saying "Grong's sound screeches and shimmers smoothly in vibrato-drowned squiggles" and that the songs "only hint at the dark, heavy, and twisted minds behind this flat black slab."[2] Deborah Sprague of Trouser Press was especially complimentary towards guitarist Charles Tolnay, saying "where his fine abstract-expressionist guitar mist was subordinate to a series of overly pious Birthday Party eulogies like "Poor Herb" and "Louise the Fly."[3]
