Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a distinct shift towards a much heavier, overdriven sound, 'Open' finds the veteran Canadian group exploring intense, electric psychedelia. While retaining their signature melancholic intimacy, the album frequently erupts into thick, swirling guitar atmospheres and driving alternative rock.
