Album Notes & Community Reviews

The anonymous avant-garde collective continues their twisted exploration of American musical giants, dedicating this volume to the works of John Philip Sousa and Hank Williams. The record violently deconstructs traditional marching band and honky-tonk compositions, utilizing cold synthesizer loops and eerie sampling to create a deeply ominous, surreal atmosphere.
