Album Notes & Community Reviews

Combines the experimental pop group's highly abrasive, high-frequency debut album with their equally chaotic sophomore effort. The packaging unites their earliest, most deeply avant-garde recordings into a single definitive document of their formative noise-folk period. It highlights the challenging, aggressively abstract foundation upon which they eventually built their mainstream success.
