Album Notes & Community Reviews

The London duo's sophomore full-length delivers a biting, sample-heavy critique of British society under the fading Thatcher/Major era. Fueled by aggressive drum machines and heavily distorted guitars, the record achieved significant UK chart success while epitomizing the indie-dance crossover of the Grebo subculture.
