Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary Velvet Underground drummer steps into the spotlight with a charmingly off-kilter, stripped-down indie rock effort. Featuring guest appearances from former bandmates Lou Reed and Sonic Youth members, the album highlights her unique, primitive rhythmic sensibilities and idiosyncratic vocal charm.
