Accelerated Culture

For our final episode of 2024, we dive deep into “The White Room,” the iconic 1991 album by The KLF, and unravel the bizarre and bewildering mythology surrounding it. From cryptic Illuminati symbolism and the duo's obsession with chaos magic to a surreal Wicker Man ceremony in Scotland, the story behind this album defies belief. We’ll also explore the infamous car-pushing stunt, a jaw-dropping cliffside act of defiance, and the ultimate act of rebellion: the sacrificial burning of one million pounds. Buckle up for a journey into the avant-garde madness of music history!
