It's raw, but not all Bukowski and Kerouac. It's more like if you found out that your always interested and compassionate best friend is also a super-good writer. Oh, Sensitive Badass?
This LP is like a breath of classical love, noise glop, jazz scuzz, and life-affirming beauty. What else would you expect from Thollem and Deerhoof's Dieterich. (also THEE mike watt is in the band doing some trippy bass and eerie vocals.)
