One Nation Underground

by Pearls Before Swine

One Nation Underground cover art

Tom Rapp's distinctive, slightly lisping vocal delivery sets the tone for this deeply cynical, anti-war folk project. The arrangements incorporate unexpected elements like organ drones and bowed banjos, creating a bizarre, politically charged atmosphere that stands far apart from the sunny folk-pop of the day.
