Album Notes & Community Reviews

Assembled by Tod A. after the dissolution of Cop Shoot Cop, this supergroup pioneers a dark, heavily syncopated fusion of underground rock and Eastern European folk elements. The debut record relies heavily on klezmer-inspired melodies, cynical lyricism, and a notably ragged, cabaret-style execution.
