Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drifting through massive walls of heavily delayed distortion and lethargic tempos, the Philadelphia quintet creates a dense, intoxicatingly heavy psychedelic soundscape. Isobel Sollenberger's ethereal flute and ghostly vocals weave through the crushing guitar feedback, anchoring the sprawling, drug-fueled drone improvisations.
