Chaos for the Converted

For their third album, the band took time off from touring to prepare the new material and after much planning recorded with Dave Fridmann of Mercury Rev as producer in Sweetfish, an isolated converted barn in upstate New York. They had met when Creaming Jesus and Mercury Rev toured the UK and Europe together on Mercury Rev’s first ever dates in Europe. The result of this session being the album Chaos for the Converted (1994), preceded by the single “Hamburg”, their style evolving away from the relentless industrial gothic thrash of their previous releases to explore a more experimental psychedelic sound.
