Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally envisioned as two separate interconnected works, the Japanese trio merges these sessions into a sprawling double album of ambient post-rock and crushing drone metal. The record highlights their unparalleled ability to build unbearable tension through quiet, meditative minimalism before erupting into overwhelming walls of amplifier feedback. Releasing on Jack White's Third Man Records, it solidified their legendary underground status.
