Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting sharply from their noise-rock origins and intricate guitar-pop, the veteran trio submerged themselves in icy, synthesized dream-pop. Working closely with electronic producers, the recording bathes Kazu Makino's fragile vocals in minimal, downtempo beats and lush, atmospheric synthesizer washes.
