Album Notes & Community Reviews

As early pioneers in the integration of electronic instruments into rock music, this eccentric New York ensemble prominently featured a Theremin they affectionately named 'Lothar'. Alongside extensive use of the early Moog synthesizer, the band crafted a highly unusual, playful fusion of primitive electronic noise, garage rock, and experimental pop.
