Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Leeds quartet debuts with an incredibly unconventional, wildly unpredictable collection of experimental art-pop. Harry Burgess utilizes a bafflingly elastic, high-register vocal delivery that twists and stutters around jarring time signatures and sparse, brass-inflected instrumentation. The highly intellectual, spiritual lyricism perfectly matches the eccentric, deeply engaging avant-garde arrangements.
