Contents

The album was initially released as a double album, alongside the band's fourth studio album, OCS 4: Get Stoved , and was recorded as a side-project to Dwyer's then-primary band, Coachwhips.

Reception

In a positive review for Allmusic , Alex Henderson wrote: "Dwyer and colleague Patrick Mullins combine that folk-rock influence with bizarre, experimental electro-noise and a very muffled sound. It's a strange mixture, but a strangely appealing one - and most of the time, it works." [1]
