Looney Runes cover art

Capturing an obscure, chaotic performance from the late 1980s, this archival release documents the collective deeply submerged in their early experimental noise phase. The ritualistic, abrasive electronics are occasionally punctuated by bizarre, surreal humor and rudimentary acoustic elements. It provides a fascinating, unfiltered glimpse into David Tibet's confrontational early aesthetics.
