The third release from the punk/jazz/improv/poetry warriors. You know the drill.
The lineup here is the same as 'The Master's Voice: Dan McGuire on vocals. Mike Watt, George Hurley, Joe Baiza provide the skronk. Raymond Pettibon and David Thomas add vocal assistance.
'For the most part the vocals consist of spoken word pieces which evokes memories of the period of the Beatnik poets of the 60's whereas musically the band range from garage rock psych to Captain Beefheart-inspired free form jazz punk infusion. And whilst all of this might sound like something of an unusual hybrid, for the most part the end result is both intriguing and thought provoking....As you would expect there is much diversity in evidence here, from the stark and haunting "Afternoon Spent at the Bar, Sunny" to the shuffling blues angst of "Lead!", the funked up freak-out of "Frownland" and the bleak feeling of isolation that seepe throughout the monotone "Last Waltz".'
