March 29 street date. An all analog production, recorded live on stage at Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles by Steve Albini (via mobile unit onto two-inch tape!) and mixed with Steve in Chicago at Electrical Audio, "Deforming Lobes" witnesses the blunt-force traumpact of The Freedom Band in full effect, updating (and upending) numbers from "Melted", "Emotional Mugger", "Twins", "Manipulator", "$ingle$ 2" and "Self-Titled". The feeling between audience and band at Los Angeles' Teragram Ballroom on those January nights was its own special thing; here, the band is somehow even more front and center, making "Deforming Lobes" the first wholly original statement from The Freedom Band and bookending the Goblin experience with a huge exclamation point.
