Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating at the frantic intersection of free improvisation, post-punk, and complex studio collage, the avant-rock collective relies on Thomas Pynchon's 'Gravity's Rainbow' for thematic inspiration. 'A Face We All Know' constructs a highly cryptic, chaotic audio landscape filled with frantic saxophones, angular guitars, and abstract sampling.
