"It's something like a porno bar mitzvah"

Glam prophet and former Antichrist Bobby Conn is here with an all-new album and although he, quite obviously, has always thought big, this time he's outdone himself, shooting a full-blown rock opera with Usama Alshaibi to the record.

"I am producing a full-length song-by-song video to accompany the record. The look of the video is inspired by 70’s era soap operas; we are using a very old tube video camera and shooting everything on very simple theatrical sets." (Thrill Jockey interview)

The album itself is, quite logically, a bit less song-oriented than The Homeland, but the stuff you know from the previous records, it's all there: sermons of something between a wild party and a religious sect, Conn's unmistakable voice and music which is seemingly so stylistically bad you start questioning your thought-of-as-good taste because you like it so much. Just listen, will you.
