Album Notes & Community Reviews
The incredibly prolific, historically anonymous avant-garde collective presents a highly specific, macabre concept album centered entirely on late-19th and early-20th-century American train crashes. The tracking blends their signature oddball, theatrical vocal deliveries with unsettling industrial clatter, electronic percussion, and eerie music-box melodies. The project continues their decades-long legacy of crafting uniquely disturbing, conceptually bizarre experimental pop.
