Album Notes & Community Reviews
Diamanda Gal谩s's debut is a profoundly harrowing, viscerally disturbing exploration of the absolute limits of the human voice. Using intense vocal gymnastics, multi-tracking, and severe tape manipulation, she interprets Charles Baudelaire's poetry as a terrifying, infernal avant-garde shriek, cementing her status as a wholly unique, manic musical force.
