Album Notes & Community Reviews

Hailing from Johannesburg, the quartet's debut full-length is a dizzying, highly eclectic fusion of angular math rock, dub basslines, and traditional South African rhythms. The heavily layered, progressive compositions defy easy categorization, shifting effortlessly from frenetic guitar noise to atmospheric psychedelic grooves. It garnered significant international critical acclaim for its inventive, cosmopolitan approach to independent rock.
