Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reeling in their famously sprawling, drug-fueled chaos into remarkably tight, highly structured compositions, Amon D眉眉l II released one of their most consistently brilliant and accessible records. 'Wolf City' is a wonderfully eclectic, fiercely melodic Krautrock masterpiece, weaving intensely psychedelic, slightly quirky heavy rock riffs with deeply atmospheric, beautifully surreal progressive textures.
