Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating fiercely outside the mainstream, Dax assembled her sophomore album largely in her own home studio, playing most of the esoteric instrumentation herself. The resulting music is a surreal, kaleidoscopic collage of tribal percussion, dissonant post-punk, and whimsical art-pop experimentation. It remains a fascinating, deeply idiosyncratic artifact of the 80s avant-garde underground.
