Prison

by Steven Jesse Bernstein

Prison cover art

Released posthumously following his suicide, this deeply unsettling record pairs the Seattle poet's gritty, cynical spoken-word performances with moody, jazz-inflected trip-hop instrumentation produced by Steve Fisk. The album stands as a harrowing, uncompromising document of Bernstein's struggles with mental illness, addiction, and urban isolation.
