Album Cover Description

Wins the award for all-time most indistinct Jandek cover photo, which is no small feat. Very dark interior of a house with the silhouette of a drum kit and some piece of furniture (or possibly a piano?) only barely visible in the dim light that filters through the drawn curtain. Photo is in color, not that you'd notice unless you looked very closely. This is one of those pictures that the photo lab gives you a refund on. -- Seth Tisue

The color cousin of the photo on The Rocks Crumble. Same gauzy curtains. The "grandma's kitchen" drum throne reappears (from Interstellar Discussion).

Reviews

The most varied and easily-accessed Corwoodian brain-scrambler in a while... Of course, if you pay close attention you discover that the central core is as explosively cathartic as any of Jandek’s previous recs...

-- Byron Coley Forced Exposure #15
