Edition of 500. C86 legends The Wolfhounds release their first standalone LP since 1990's Attitude. From the opening, a capella, iPhone-manipulated folk resurrection of pparition' to the apocalyptic repetition of the electric violin and detuned guitar driven cross The River of Death', and incorporating sample mangled dub, freakbeat protest punk and late-night unplugged lo-fi along its 50-minute plus journey, the album musically and lyrically goes pretty much everywhere all other underground bands can't or won't go. The album summons sometimes dystopic, sometimes frighteningly dysfunctional hallucinations of desperate working life and insecurity, while at the same time being as raw and hardcore celebratory as danceable blues.. It features plenty of distinctive guests including trumpets and saxophones by Terry Edwards (Gallon Drunk, P J Harvey), keyboards by Rhodri Marsden (Scritti Politti), and guest vocals from Katherine M Whittaker (Evans the Death), Elin Grimstad (Je Suis Animal) and Astrud Steehouder (Paper Dollhouse)
