I'm a little conflicted now, because I'm going through it, and there are clear world folk influences that I overlooked. Like the raga in Venus in Furs and tribal sound of European Son.

Yeah I agree with you, it imbues elements of world music into the songs, and blends them with drones, dissonance, whateverelsethefuck they do on that album to create something totally new.

It's avant-punk.
