Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning to a major label, the eccentric New York group delivered their signature blend of deadpan spoken-word poetry and eclectic alternative rock. 'The Way to Salvation' revels in John S. Hall's surreal, humorous observations, combining art rock sensibilities with distinctly quirky, college radio appeal.
