Album Notes & Community Reviews

Available initially only as an exclusive CD given to independent record stores, the acclaimed British experimental rock band provides an incredibly bizarre companion piece to their debut. The album consists of the band members performing deadpan spoken-word readings of classic short stories over unsettling, improvised, and highly atmospheric instrumental jams.
