Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary krautrock pioneers return with a remarkably sparse, incredibly rhythmic instrumental album centered almost entirely around foundation-shaking bass and drums. 'j US t' completely abandons traditional melodic structures, heavily relying on deeply hypnotic, repetitive industrial percussion and subtle, improvisational guitar noise. It stands as a profoundly lonely, fiercely minimalist, and highly compelling late-career experiment.
