The third in the 'psychiatric trilogy' of albums by Luke Haines (The Auteurs, The Servants, Black Box
Recorder) and Peter Buck (R.E.M).
Recorded in Portland Oregon, USA foot-down-to-thefloor- throttle-out style.
Expect to sail through churning psychedelic excursions that ask for clarity on questions like...
Have you ever been cold called by someone claiming to represent the Pink Floyd research group? Have you been stranded on the moon with Papa John Philips? (and then realised you were out of drugs).
Can you count your nervous breakdowns on the paws ofmore than two dozen cats? Does it feel like all you ever do is answer questions? Yes? No? Then take a trip down to the river...to blow your mind.
