Album Notes & Community Reviews
Functioning as a terrifying, disjointed funk song, this massive track relies on an incredibly rigid, repetitive bassline surrounded by squalling horns and sudden bursts of volume. Michael Gira's vocals are delivered with a menacing, monotone sneer, meditating on existential dread and absurdity. It served as a preview for their colossal two-hour album, proving their ability to build immense, trance-inducing tension out of minimalist repetition.
