Album Notes & Community Reviews
Showcasing the devastatingly bleak aesthetic of the early slowcore movement, this release briefly features David Grubbs of Bastro and Gastr del Sol on guitar. The incredibly sluggish tempos and heavily distorted basslines create a suffocatingly lethargic atmosphere, punctuated by stark, apathetic vocals. It notably includes a fascinatingly slow, depressive cover of the Joy Division classic 'Atmosphere'.
