Hex Enduction Hour

The Fall · Post-Punk

Cut partly at a remote studio in Reykjavik, Iceland with producer Richard Mazda and featuring two drummers (Karl Burns and Paul Hanley) for extra rhythmic weight, Hex Enduction Hour is widely regarded as The Fall's most revered record and a defining statement of Mark E. Smith's confrontational, sprechgesang-driven post-punk.
