Album Notes & Community Reviews

The endlessly prolific Bishop brothers present the third installment of their sprawling, highly unpredictable archival series. 'Carnival Folklore Resurrection 3: Superculto' captures the group at their most abrasive, relying heavily on free-form noise improvisations and terrifyingly surreal vocal performances. The deeply chaotic, lo-fi recording is a challenging, unhinged testament to their legendary avant-garde madness.
