Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their wildly unpredictable musical evolution, the legendary Leeds outfit fused their ragged post-punk origins with deep dub basslines and dusty alt-country storytelling. The eclectic, highly politicized album perfectly captures the band's fiercely independent, genre-defying spirit as they transitioned away from the traditional British underground.

Genres

Descriptors: folk, guitars, storytelling, satirical, communal
