Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Captain Beefheart collaborator Eric Drew Feldman, the Belgian band's sophomore effort is notoriously erratic and structurally eccentric. The recordings fluidly alternate between chaotic noise-rock freakouts, jazzy experimentation, and tender, acoustic-driven melancholy. It firmly established the group as one of Europe's most inventively bizarre rock exports of the decade.
