They're a 3 peice from Chicago that make a hell of alot of beautiful, angry noise. Recorded and mixed by Sanford Parker, (from none other than Minsk/Buried At Sea), this album will flatten your head. It's the cd combination of 2 of the bands' previous vinyl releases, (Slights and Abuse, and The Sycophant, respectively) and you can hear the differences and transistions in material as the cd progresses. The riffs are fantastic, all about the off-time rhythms, and the vocals are wretched and almost intolerable at times. Sweet. Indian covers the full range here, fast and thrashy, slow and doomy, and that nice steady travelin'-riff speed in between, sort of what Neurosis crawling out of the ruins of a nuclear disaster would sound like.
