Album Notes & Community Reviews

The final full-length from David Grubbs' volatile noise-rock trio before they gradually morphed into the avant-garde acoustic act Gastr del Sol. The record's incredibly dense, rhythmically angular structures heavily laid the groundwork for the mid-90s math rock movement.
