Act V: The Descent into Madness

If you’re not familiar: MIND CONTROL THEATRE is the long-running, genre-evading project of Chris Goudreau. Part industrial, part ritual ambient, part sample-collage-as-confession, their work has always felt like a séance held in the guts of an abandoned shopping mall. But The Yard Sale Of Hell House?
