Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary Swans co-vocalist released a deeply unsettling, incredibly eclectic solo record acting as a companion piece to Michael Gira's 'Drainland'. The highly ritualistic, atmospheric compositions span from terrifying dark ambient drone to bizarre, avant-garde cabaret. Her wildly versatile, emotionally volatile vocal performances command a deeply mysterious and profoundly occult sonic environment.
