Engineered by Albini, Craw’s second album Lost Nation Road presents a complex of hardcore rock, noise, and even free jazz tropes in its quest to express a system far beyond rock yet carved by rock tools. Sometimes described by journalists as “math rock”, this system seeks to harness chaos models in the pursuit of a monumental aural imprint, a goal achieved by Lost Nation Road with shuddering clarity.
THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF ROBERT YOUNG (1964-2014)
