Elliott Sharp Quotes
Thorny compositions that sound as if female teen punkers the Shaggs received doctorates in the music of 12-tone composer Alban Berg, and then rewrote their Philosophy of the World....

Also featuring intense lyrics sung with their clear and melodic voices, the two women make transcendent chamber music outside of any genre.
