Album Notes & Community Reviews

Celebrating their 35th anniversary, David Thomas and his long-running avant-garage collective returned with a deliberately challenging and abrasive record. Disregarding traditional rhythm sections, the album heavily utilizes synthesizers, fractured drum machine programming, and dissonant industrial textures to create a surreal, dystopian soundscape.
