Album Notes & Community Reviews

Helmed by the ever-unpredictable Steven Stapleton, this release momentarily shifts away from pure, abstract sound collage to flirt actively with driving krautrock rhythms and heavy bass grooves. Featuring the distinct guitar work of David Tibet, the record is a surreal, often humorous journey through distorted, psychedelic avant-rock.
