Song of the Bailing Man

A murky, reverb-drenched tightrope walk between art-rock and garage. Propulsive jazz-inflected drumming meets surrealist narratives in a landscape of industrial fog.

1982 · Bomba Records (4)

A murky, atmospheric blend of industrial anxiety and artful, jazz-inflected melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For

The propulsive, jazz-inflected drum patterns of Anton Fier that push the band into a higher gear than previous records.

The seven-minute sprawl of A Day Such as This where the reverb creates a vast, lonely landscape.

The surreal, spoken-word delivery on Big Ed's Used Farms that feels like a transmission from a parallel dimension.
