Album Notes & Community Reviews
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, this fiercely avant-garde vocal ensemble delivers a wildly eclectic and complex musical fusion. Integrating complex polyphonic vocal harmonies with klezmer, Balkan folk, and heavy rock instrumentation, the group constructs satirical, mathematically precise songs that defy conventional categorization.
