Album Notes & Community Reviews

Discarding the 'Contortions' moniker, James Chance steers his highly erratic sax squalls into even deeper, more dissonant rhythmic pockets. The chaotic fusion of no wave aggression and heavily syncopated mutant disco perfectly encapsulates the gritty bohemian excess of downtown New York.
