Album Notes & Community Reviews

The notoriously eccentric British indie group crafted this wildly unpredictable collection heavily steeped in late-sixties psychedelia and surrealist humor. 'War, Famine, Death, Pestilence and Miss Timberlake' combines jagged, lo-fi indie rock instrumentation with deadpan vocal deliveries and bizarre lyrical non-sequiturs. The album serves as a defining highlight of their fiercely independent, DIY catalog.
