Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded over two nights in Toronto, this double live album presents a deeply intimate, stripped-down portrait of David Tibet's apocalyptic folk vision. Accompanied by minimal piano and acoustic guitar, Tibet's haunting, apocalyptic poetry takes absolute center stage in a remarkably clear and vulnerable performance.
