Press 3
A dialectically demonic dream of constant repetition.

To create a convincing world, Crazy Dog's award winning production team recorded in offices, hotel lobbies, classrooms, fields, city streets, laneways and even diving into the murky shallows of Dublin's Grand Canal to record the splash.
