Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating primarily from an isolated farmhouse studio in France, former Thinking Plague bassist Bob Drake crafted a deeply eccentric, highly surreal solo record[cite: 1]. 'Medallion Animal Carpet' is an incredibly chaotic lo-fi collage, rapidly shifting between warped country and western swing, frantic noise rock, and bizarre avant-prog instrumentation[cite: 1].
