So I recommend skipping to the bottom of this post and just grabbing the album. And I think the more you know about the actual creative process behind this album, the more that mysticism is stripped away. But it’s about as alien a place for our conscious minds to be as any. It’s some place we’ve all been before, and that gives it a feeling of comfort and safety. Like maybe being back in the womb after thirty years outside of it.
It feels both undeniably alien and inescapably familiar. As interesting as Clams Casino’s story is, the music is better heard without any context.
