Barricade by The Phil Aiken Army
This is part of the 4 album set Redemption Center. It is the longest, both in length and in terms "time in the oven". A few of these songs were part of an earlier EP, Maginot Line. If you enjoyed that, please take note of the Tom Polce remix of Emperess' Clothes. This is also the most self-indulgent of the 4 albums - in a good way.
