Album Notes & Community Reviews

This sprawling, vinyl-only compilation box set gathers incredibly raw, lo-fi live recordings from the band's earliest performances between 2000 and 2003. The archival release highlights their transition from abstract noise and acoustic freak-folk experiments into the highly rhythmic, psychedelic pop sound that would define their massive breakthrough.
