Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured in Lambkin's Poughkeepsie home, this masterful electroacoustic collaboration utilizes intensely intimate, domestic field recordings. The artists manipulate the sounds of squeaking chairs, breathing, and shifting tape loops to create a profoundly surreal, claustrophobic atmosphere. It is widely regarded as a modern landmark of American avant-garde and musique concr猫te.
