The MineralTail by Justin Robertson. The greatest album ever recorded was made after the end of the world.
Forged by a megalithic stone and two dogs in the ruins of humanity, The MineralTail is the most mysterious record in existence, a masterpiece of ingenuity, passion, and divine accident. For decades it has topped every chart and defied every explanation. Now, for the first time, comes the true story of how it was made.
From the drum machine planet to the abduction of Nick Drake, from the riffs of the Great God Pan to cosmic acts of musical rebellion, Justin Robertson's psychedelic odyssey rewires the myths of creation through feedback, faith, and rhythm.
Part cosmic comedy, part rock 'n' roll revelation, a love letter to sound itself.
