Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.

Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.

Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
