Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily shaped by the immediate emotional fallout of the September 11 attacks, the famously anonymous collective delivered an uncharacteristically sincere and stripped-back recording. The bizarre, surreal elements of their avant-garde legacy remain, but they are frequently submerged beneath profound existential sorrow and haunting pop melodies.

Genres

Descriptors: atmospheric, death, conceptual, bizarre, lo-fi, experimental, avant-garde, theatrical, dark-humor
