Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Fire in the Sky' captures the legendary outsider band honing their famously chaotic noise-punk sensibilities into surprisingly cohesive and romantic indie rock structures. With production assistance from Velvet Underground drummer Moe Tucker, the tracks balance playful, stream-of-consciousness lyricism with bittersweet, quirky melodies.
