    "the jellyfish represents the collapse of the ecosystem and the spinelessness of the people charged with protecting it"

    conceptually inspired by george monbiot's article "feeding frenzy" (www.monbiot.com/2007/04/03/feeding-frenzy/) this collaboration took almost 2 years to accomplish. a tightly composed and intricately arranged musique concrète racket that will sit on your face and ears like a jellyfish, a lament too on the deterioration of an ecosystem and a curse on human greed and supremacist arrogance. edition of 300, comes in nice, thick silkscreened cardboard cover.

    Includes unlimited streaming of medusa via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
