Album Notes & Community Reviews

Helmed by former This Kind of Punishment frontman Graeme Jefferies, this project explores the bleaker, more dissonant corners of the Flying Nun catalog. 'World of Sand' is a lo-fi masterclass, burying melancholic psychedelic folk melodies beneath a thick, isolating layer of abrasive noise and four-track tape hiss.

Genres
