Artist description Gigantic New York folk-punk-country ensemble, now deceased.

Artist History In January '96, Flat Old World played its last show. The seven songs that make up The Abasement Tapes hint at the second album we'll never get to hear. Lullabies, dub excursions, and tears aplenty. It's the end of the world. Visit us at http://www.ragandboneshop.com
