Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a duo for the first time following the departure of bassist Dave Konopka, the experimental rock outfit relies heavily on complex synthesizer loops and an array of guest vocalists. The record features contributions from Sal Principato and Shabazz Palaces, maintaining their incredibly technical, playful, and futuristic approach to math-rock. It successfully demonstrated their ability to adapt and thrive despite significant lineup changes.
