2012 album from the veteran Post-Punk/Experimental L.A. band. Recorded in Greece in February 2012 over the course of three hectic days, Varvakios is a sequel of sorts to their 1989 album Customs, and draws on local sights, sounds and synergies. On several tracks the band are joined on violin by Blaine L. Reininger of Tuxedo moon, himself a resident of downtown Athens. Says front man Thom Fuhrmann: 'To walk into such a volatile situation and create this music in such a short time was by far the most satisfying experience that I've ever had as an artist.'
