Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiled primarily from wildly abrasive live performances and brief studio sessions, the prolific Los Angeles sound artist delivered a remarkably spastic and playful vision of harsh noise. The recording rapidly splices terrifying bursts of feedback with jarring jump-cuts, perfectly blurring the lines between chaotic grindcore and electroacoustic sound collage.
