Album Notes & Community Reviews
Translating her notoriously chaotic, prop-heavy stage performances into a purely auditory format, the Los Angeles performance artist delivered an abrasive, deeply bizarre debut. 'Hyena' blends tribal percussion, shrieking vocal improvisations, and jagged post-punk dissonance to create a wildly disorienting listening experience. It stands as a unique, deeply uncompromising artifact of the West Coast avant-garde punk scene.
