The Complete Guide to Insufficiency

I don't know what to say about this record. It came into my life as many others; internet music lists are still a surprisingly good resource. Who needs Spotify when one has old forums with encyclopaedic knowledge on almost anything?

It's bare; very raw, surreal maybe-in-the-spectrum of anti-folk (or rather freak folk, but never as uncomfortable as some other things like, off the top of my head, ———);

some years later I realise there was a reissue — and with covers by some other artists. And they are good — and the record feels refreshed. Terrific, terrific, terrific.
