Album Notes & Community Reviews
Demonstrating their seemingly endless capacity for reinvention, 'Artificial Selection' captures the Sacramento post-hardcore veterans expanding upon their signature technical fretwork[cite: 4]. The record balances Jon Mess's chaotic, surreal screams with Tilian Pearson's soaring pop melodies, creating a progressive, highly energetic, and distinctly uplifting listening experience[cite: 4].
