Album Notes & Community Reviews
An incredibly ambitious double-album, 'Joggers & Smoggers' finds the Dutch anarcho-punk veterans embracing vast, avant-garde experimentation alongside an array of international guests including Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo. The sprawling 34-track collection blends angular guitar noise with free improvisation, spoken word, and unconventional instrumentation. It marks a definitive shift from traditional punk structures into complex, boundary-pushing art-rock.
