Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the final installment in their color-themed album cycle, the band introduces new guitarist Gina Gleason into their complex, sludgy framework. The record pushes their progressive metal sound into highly eclectic, almost indie-rock territories, featuring surprisingly lush vocal harmonies buried under incredibly dense, fuzz-heavy production by Dave Fridmann. It acts as an ambitious, polarizing, and deeply emotional conclusion to a defined era.
