Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning more as an absurdist, incredibly offensive radio play than a traditional rock album, the Bishop brothers compiled a series of deeply cynical spoken-word rants and bizarre theatrical skits. Accompanied by disjointed acoustic strumming and dark jazz interludes, the recording is aggressively vulgar and darkly comedic. It is a testament to the trio's fiercely uncompromising anti-commercialism and profound weirdness.
