Album Notes & Community Reviews

Representing a radical stylistic departure, the album integrates elements of hyperpop and industrial noise into the band's established rock foundation. The recording involved a decentralized creative process where members manipulated digital textures and glitched vocal samples to create a manic, maximalist atmosphere. Its thematic focus revolves around sensory overload and the fragmentation of identity in the digital age.
