 A sensational track (the visionary Hitting A Wall, which if Thom Yorke heard it, he would retire to monastic life taking all copies of Amnesiac with him).

 More bizarre but less poetic... But what is Poetry? Gentle sounds, silences, and then notes you don’t expect? Mmm

 It was at the Barfly in Camden Town that I discovered a strange and healthy, very angry rock that the old sacred monsters would greatly appreciate.

 The self-titled album captures the incredible energy of their live acts; it’s for a never-heard label (Gut Records), and in Dischord’s catalog, it would fit perfectly.
