When in Vanitas...

When in Vanitas... cover art

Conceived largely by Jim O'Rourke as a studio-based deconstruction project, this highly abrasive album violently edits and splices recorded rock improvisations. The record serves as a pivotal bridge between the angular Chicago noise-rock scene and the emerging, heavily manipulated avant-garde wing of the post-rock movement.
