Album Notes & Community Reviews
The notoriously confrontational San Francisco quartet delivered a deeply terrifying, completely unhinged deconstruction of blues, noise-rock, and avant-garde jazz. Eugene Robinson's violently erratic, deeply disturbing vocal performances鈥攔anging from agonizing shrieks to menacing whispers鈥攁nchor the incredibly chaotic, heavily improvised guitar and rhythm sections. It remains a legendary, highly polarizing artifact of pure musical extremity and uncompromising underground performance art.
