Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by prolific avant-garde bassist Bob Drake, Hail delivers a fragmented, incredibly tense deconstruction of standard rock forms. The rhythmically complex, jagged post-punk arrangements severely twist traditional pop sensibilities into an unsettling and thoroughly experimental listening experience.
