Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Mothership' perfectly encapsulates the band's hyper-technical, genre-splicing approach to post-hardcore. The record is anchored by Will Swan's intricate guitar tapping and the wildly theatrical, contrasting vocal dynamics between Tilian Pearson's R&B-inflected cleans and Jon Mess's chaotic screams.
