Album Notes & Community Reviews

Despite its deliberately misleading title, this release is not a live album, but rather the highly conceptual third studio record from Tim Kinsella's unpredictable indie rock project[cite: 1]. The notoriously difficult album heavily deconstructs traditional song structures, featuring starkly acoustic slowcore passages violently juxtaposed against chaotic bursts of math rock and experimental noise[cite: 1].

Genres

Descriptors: live, improvisation, avant-garde, dissonant, jangly
