Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following years of label disputes and hyper-stylized media attention, the London art-punk collective finally delivered their chaotic debut. The record is a sprawling, theatrical critique of late capitalism and toxic masculinity, blending David Bowie-esque glam theatricality with spaghetti western motifs and aggressive electronic beats. It successfully captured their notoriously wild, unpredictable live energy.
