Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their first release as a trio following the departure of founding member Ryan Vanderhoof, the experimental folk group embraces a heavier, more chaotic rock approach. The album features deeply tribal percussion, blistering guitar freak-outs, and soaring, communal vocal harmonies that perfectly capture their legendary, high-energy live performances. It represents a joyous, intensely rhythmic high point for the freak-folk movement.
