Produced by Nick Launay and Adam Greenspan, the sixth studio album finds the band returning to the aggressive and angular rhythmic interplay that defined their early career. The production emphasizes a dry, sharp guitar sound and driving basslines that address themes of social hierarchy, competition, and political disillusionment. It represents a stylistic reclamation, prioritizing structural tension and visceral instrumental energy within a modern context.
