Spoonfed Hybrid – ‘Spoonfed Hybrid’ (Guernica, 1993)
“…an album that’s both more varied and sonically untethered than any of their previous incarnations, the noisiness of their previous groups consigned to the corner, allowing a vast space for a plethora of electronic and acoustic instruments to interact, meander and contort…”
