Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pairing the legendary American Primitive guitar pioneer with the Boston avant-rock ensemble, this collaboration is a fascinating clash of generational experimentalism. Fahey's idiosyncratic, meandering acoustic guitar work is enveloped in Cul de Sac's surging post-rock rhythms and chaotic sound collages, resulting in a deeply surreal, uncompromisingly strange sonic dialogue.
