Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting Mayo Thompson's legendary experimental group with the British conceptual art collective, this project serves as a highly intellectual, Marxist critique of modern society. Stripped entirely of rock instrumentation, the album features operatic and choral vocal performances backed by sparse acoustic guitar, reciting dense sociopolitical essays. It is a profoundly challenging, fiercely uncompromising work of avant-garde conceptualism.
