*Chapter V: Thunder from the Plains* explores narratives and motifs pertaining to the astrological sign Taurus, the bull. This album juxtaposes the melodic punk and post-psych Ego are known for with experimental Funk, Hip Hop, and more.

The cassette/download is available in a limited edition box set from Maximum Pelt Records! The box set includes all 12 tapes from the series as well as an exclusive 13th tape, a limited-edition t shirt, and zines!

about

Ego Chicago, Illinois

Ego is the long-standing collaboration of three Chicago natives who met in their teens and have been playing together since. They liken their music to a magical tree with punk roots, a rock n roll trunk, bluesy branches, noisey leaves, and psychadelic fruit. Ego also run a record label and studio, Maximum Pelt and DIY music venues (Ottoman Emipre, Wallys World). ... more
