about

Stepping back into the clever wordplay, hidden meanings, advertising copy turned on it ear, and emotional cataclysm that is Charlie Newman poetry with both feet here. Gloves are off, instrumentals are rougher and more intense, multiple vocals with f/x are often a temptation not to be resisted, altogether this is more muscular Bodycocktail releases than others leading up to this one in 2006.

The cover features a collage including the Virgil Exners' mystical 1962 Imperial Southampton and J.J. Gaffney architecture alluding the long-forgotten part of the ritual we are left with.
