PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS WITH YOUR NICEST HEADPHONES, AT THE LOUDEST POSSIBLE VOLUME. Start with the tracks Howlin' Ginsberg and Anime Mom (Dedicated to Anime Dad) to have your most accessible experience. This is pretty much the best worst album ever made. Forty two layers of instruments laid down by twenty five people, all improvised asynchronously.

Layers fade in and out on their own time, leading to a sonic experience that flows between different vibes very smoothly, or as smoothly as an abrasive noisy shitpile of an album can. Vocal contributions from many of the players rest atop the noise, ranging from intense jazz singing to poem readings in Spanish, to a recitation of a travel log email from a boat, sent accidentally to one of the members.

There are moments of serene beauty, moments that will make you laugh, moments that will hurt your ears, and everything else in between.

Even among noise and improvisational groups, there's nothing really like this out there. Welcome to ******. AGAIN, PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS WITH YOUR NICEST HEADPHONES, AT THE LOUDEST POSSIBLE VOLUME.
