Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released exclusively for Record Store Day, this collaborative project fuses two vastly different poles of avant-garde extremity. Masami Akita applies his legendary, eardrum-shattering harsh noise walls over deconstructed, anxiety-inducing rhythmic tracks provided by Jamie Stewart's experimental pop group. The uncompromising, abrasive soundscapes function as a terrifying exercise in auditory endurance.
