Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fiercely eccentric guitarist and vocalist delivered a sprawling, completely unhinged deconstruction of American roots music. 'LSDC&W: The History of the Chadbournes in America' violently dismantles traditional country and honky-tonk through the lens of free improvisation, frantic noise rock, and bizarre sound collages. The release stands as a brilliant, chaotic monument to Chadbourne's unique brand of subversive musical surrealism.
