Album Cover Description Drawn curtains. An alley shot of a two story house with narrow siding. A tree dominates the left half of the photo. A strange (possibly broken... or ornamental) yellow birdfeeder in the upper right.

The shed's bricks are visible along the mortises... indicating that the building is brick with paneling. (the "Brick Wall" album covers explained?) An interesting optical illusion is created in the interplay of birdfeeder and brick.

Reviews His playing, singing, and writing are at a peak here... No one is creating a body of work w/ more offtrack cohesion and beauty than Jandek.
