Album Notes & Community Reviews

The notorious culture-jamming collective directs their razor-sharp satirical focus entirely onto the advertising empire of Pepsi-Cola for this concept record. Utilizing a dense, surreal collage of corporate jingles, hijacked radio broadcasts, and manipulated pop music, 'Dispepsi' functions as a brilliant, deeply subversive critique of 1990s consumerism and mass marketing.
