Album Notes & Community Reviews

Co-produced with Adrian Sherwood and featuring musical backing from members of Crass and missing musicians from the On-U Sound roster, this debut is a harrowing descent into paranoia. Annie Bandez's unhinged, confrontational vocal diatribes are submerged in a chaotic soup of dub delays, tape loops, and harsh industrial percussion. It stands as a brilliant, terrifying intersection between anarcho-punk politics and avant-garde dub experimentation.
