Born of conviction, an indictment of repression and discrimination, and a celebration of female energy and power, 'American Tyranny' is unambiguous in its message and intent. Musically, it is best described as modern chant; fundamental harmonic intervals, unembellished arrangements and monophonic textures dominate, created from gut-level emotion that could be termed instinctual. 'Euphemism' is a rejection of the dominant white-male paradigm, 'Ay Yi' a primal lament. Produced by June Millington, the guitarist of the pioneering women's rock group Fanny.
