Product Review

The Laughing Stalk mines the bottomless chasm of a desperate man at the mercy of aninscrutable God. The rhythms are insistent, the guitars unyielding, and melodies are potent andunrestrained. David Eugene Edwards is as much a force of nature as ever, pulling the entire bandforward with the strength of his voice, as if it had its own gravitational field. One can't quite grabahold of a singular style each note is informed by the royal heritages and traditions of punk, ofcountry, of rock & roll, industrial, and Native American music.

This limited deluxe LP includes the full album on CD, and a hand-printed letterpress cover art/poster (limited edition to 2000).
