Cromagnon

Cromagnon was an American duo active during the late 1960s, led by multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters Austin Grasmere and Brian Elliot. Their sole album, released as Orgasm in 1969 and later reissued as Cave Rock, stands as one of the most extraordinary and prescient documents of the psychedelic era — a record that sounds like nothing else from its time and that prefigures noise rock, industrial, and primitivist music by decades.

The record combines bagpipes, pounding percussion, blood-curdling yelps, chanting, laughing, and billowing subterranean rumblings into a soundscape of genuinely uncanny power.
