Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating without external producers for the first time, Tosin Abasi's instrumental trio leans heavily into organic textures and jazz-fusion improvisation. The record features extensive use of acoustic guitars and synthesizers, creating a surprisingly warm, dynamic atmosphere without sacrificing their signature, impossibly complex polymetric riffing. It stands as a mature, highly nuanced evolution of the modern djent sound.
