I must confess that I'm not really familiar with The Lungfish mans solo work so here we go... Hmm he's coming across like a cross between Michael Gira and David Tibet doing possessed gospel sermons. The spoken word/ poetry stuff is interesting enough... I can appreciate what he's up to here but I'm finding it difficult to connect with it. Rather I prefer the instrumental blues moments. Apparently recorded with David Andrew Sitek (TV On The Radio). So there you go.
