Lyrically it offers little but musically it is stunning.Though the second half of the album struggles to match the superb quality of Side A, the final two tracks finish the album with a brilliant 1-2 punch. “Sight on Sight,” which at four minutes is by far the LP’s longest track, moves through at least five distinct segments, building to a punk-rock closing...

Each figure is accompanied by a biographical narrative, written by a contemporary female author and inspired by the portrait. Text and image hang side by side like open pages of a book, imbuing the silent figures with history. Meet “Mistress Victoria Chi,” a dominatrix who leaves her S&M dungeon after she falls for a client mid-whip. She shies from the camera, her black hair brushed over...
