Michael Hall: Day

(Deja Disc, 1996)

Apocalyptic song cycle, recorded in Chicago and featuring members of Poi Dog Pondering and the Mekons. A blazing weird-fest of mayhem, saviors, and giant puppets.

"An elaborate conceptual piece, literary in its ambition, metaphysical in its spirit, purposefully different from his poppier music."

-- Don McLeese,Austin American-Statesman
