Coming from the steamy gutters of Manhattan, Five Dollar Priest deliver their second album as a logical follow-up to their excellent debut record released in 2008. Five Dollar Priest is formed, for this occasion, by members of Speedball Baby, Swans and Mercury Rev, and that´s what it sounds like. With no concessions. A combination of NYC free jazz with looping rhythms and ripped street preaching. Like William Burroughs backed by Miles Davis on a base of Suicide. There is no possible option to think that this record comes from anywhere else but New York, when you listen to it. Housed in a scandalous gatefold sleeve.
