Album Notes & Community Reviews

The eccentric Chicago-based performance artist delivered a deeply satirical, conceptual critique of American capitalism and millennial paranoia. 'Rise Up!' is a wildly theatrical fusion of 1970s glam rock, progressive pop, and funk, driven by Conn's flamboyant falsetto and complex, highly orchestrated musical arrangements.
