Before a Million Universes

by Big Ups

Before a Million Universes cover art

The Brooklyn-based quartet dramatically evolves past the straightforward punk of their debut, embracing deeply complex, Slint-indebted post-hardcore and math-rock dynamics. Frontman Joe Galarraga delivers incredibly tense, spoken-word recitations that violently explode into furious screaming, tackling themes of capitalist alienation and personal frustration. It stands as a brilliant, fiercely intelligent exercise in loud-quiet tension and release.
