Recorded in a series of Los Angeles studios from January 2004 with legendary producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, Elliott Smith, Coldplay), The Warlocks' new album Surgery is both more accessible and more vulnerable than their acclaimed album from 2003, Phoenix. An otherworldly, subversive soul record, it has a ghostly grace which mixes soothing sci-fi lullabies with their trademark characteristic rohypnol rock-outs. Mute. 2005.
