Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the departure of Tyondai Braxton and deciding against guest vocalists, the remaining trio completely embraces a complex, entirely instrumental format. Centered intensely around John Stanier's robotic precision drumming, the interlocking guitars and synthesizer loops function like an incredibly dense, playful puzzle box. The compositions are simultaneously rigid and exuberantly joyful.
