Vibrato (song)

Vibrato is a song by the American alternative rock band Black Flag. It appeared on their 1985 album Loose Nut. The song is instrumental and is characterized by its slow tempo, dissonant harmonies, and the prominent use of a vibrato effect on the guitar. It's generally considered one of Black Flag's more experimental and unconventional compositions. Unlike many of their faster, punk-influenced songs, "Vibrato" explores a more atmospheric and almost dirge-like sound. It highlights Greg Ginn's unique and often atonal guitar playing style, showcasing his willingness to push boundaries within the hardcore punk genre. The song often receives mixed reactions from fans, with some appreciating its artistic merit and others finding it jarring and less accessible than Black Flag's more traditional material.
