It was recorded by dramatic soprano Amanda Zory and pianist Walter Aparicio. Who says you can’t mix opera singing with punk?

Here’s the track listing:

The Fauxhawksmen of the Apocalypse

Disconnecting the Dots

The Incessant Buzz Above

Lament or Celebration?

Take Your Fucking Selfie-Stick and Shove It Up Your Ass
