Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as the fourth installment of the famously unfinished 'Mole Trilogy' narrative, this album continues the anonymous collective's surreal, conceptual storytelling. 'The Big Bubble' purportedly presents a fictional band singing in a made-up dialect known as 'Mohelmot,' accompanied by heavily mutated, clattering synthesizer pop and dissonant, shrieking vocals. The deeply confusing, anti-commercial nature of the record further cemented their legendary status as avant-garde provocateurs.
