Hints of St. Stephen, We Bid You, Darkness Jam...all this is missing is a generous helping of kitchen sink.

Boston Music Hall

Every time I listen to this, I end up sticky, confused, smiling, and with a 20 minute gap in my memory.

This one has soul to spare, and Lagin on clavichord-a-ma-jigger adds an interesting layer.
