Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released at the height of his mainstream acting notoriety, this incredibly bizarre outsider-art project perfectly captured Crispin Glover’s deeply eccentric public persona. The album is a chaotic mix of unsettling spoken-word poetry, bizarre covers (including 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin''), and discordant experimental rock. Produced by Barnes & Barnes, it remains a highly polarizing, deeply surreal cult artifact.
