Volcanic Tongue: A Time-Travelling Evangelist's Guide to Late 20th Century Underground Music is both a book and a companion album. The book is a compendium of music writing by author David Keenan, while the album is a compilation of tracks that were championed during his time running the Volcanic Tongue record shop in Glasgow from 2005 to 2015. 

The 20-track compilation is an eclectic mix of genres, including lo-fi DIY, psych-folk, outsider synth, and damaged rock 'n' roll. The album showcases the diverse and anti-genre tracks Keenan championed. It blends drones, free jazz, ambient sounds, and raw, energetic rock, often characterized by a lo-fi production ethos.
