Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally intended as a simple remix project for the 'Portrait of an American Family' era, the EP evolved into a full-scale exploration of childhood trauma and Americana. The recordings integrate bizarre sound collages and industrial-tinged covers, most notably the breakthrough interpretation of Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)'. It remains a pivotal release for its successful synthesis of disturbing aesthetic themes and radio-friendly industrial production.
