Album Notes & Community Reviews

Taking its humorous title from the Sam Peckinpah film, this expansive double album finds the Canadian composer further refining his glacial, intensely emotive drone architecture. The tracks are primarily constructed from heavily processed, looping electric guitar swells that lack any discernible rhythmic attack, creating a vast, oceanic sense of suspension. It is widely considered a masterwork of modern minimalism, evoking a profound, melancholic beauty.
