Rear End Hernia Puppet Show

Shrouded in profound anonymity and elaborate, terrifying visual aesthetics, this debut from the San Francisco experimental collective is an unparalleled work of chaotic outsider art. 'Rear End Hernia Puppet Show' violently deconstructs traditional bluegrass and Appalachian folk music by subjecting banjos and fiddles to extreme dissonance, detuning, and screeching, unhinged vocal performances. Packaged in notoriously bizarre, hand-painted materials, the album helped ignite the fiercely independent noise-folk underground.
