Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating under a slightly modified moniker, John Dwyer's relentlessly prolific garage-psych outfit delivers a sprawling, 80-minute double album of pure motorik groove. The record leans heavily into progressive rock experimentation, extensive jazz-inflected jamming, and dual-drummer rhythmic assaults, culminating in the 21-minute closing track 'Henchlock'. It perfectly captures the unhinged, jam-band energy of their legendary live performances.
