Album Notes & Community Reviews

David Tibet shifts Current 93's industrial roots toward acoustic, apocalyptic folk, creating a deeply surreal and unnerving listening experience. The album juxtaposes sinister tape loops and cryptic spiritual chants with twisted, child-like nursery rhymes, forging the unsettling foundation of the neofolk genre.
