Roots & Crowns cover art

Masterfully blending rustic Americana with subtle electronic glitches and tape manipulation, the Chicago group reaches a major creative peak. The cinematic, highly textural approach to roots music heavily utilizes found sounds and unconventional percussion alongside acoustic guitars and banjos. It is frequently cited as a defining masterpiece of experimental alt-country.
