Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released mere months after their debut, the acoustic duo's second album leans even further into frantic rhythms and deeply esoteric, Tolkien-esque mythology. Marc Bolan's unique vocal vibrato and rapid-fire acoustic guitar strumming cement the record as a definitive, hyper-eccentric text of the British freak folk underground.
