The extract reads: ‘The sound on Grotesque is a seemingly impossible combination of the shambolic and the disciplined, the cerebral-literary and the idiotic-physical”. Furthermore, it extends the album’s themes to The Fall’s 1982 album, Hex Enduction Hour, which, Fisher notes, is also “saturated with references to the weird.” The extract articulates the ways in which The Fall’s third studio album manages to “draw out a cultural politics of the weird and the grotesque”.
