Album Notes & Community Reviews

The incredibly prolific avant-rock quartet entirely self-produced this optimistic, energetic project. The album returns heavily to their signature dual-guitar math rock interplay and Satomi Matsuzaki's sweet, melodic vocal hooks, avoiding the sprawling synthesizers of their prior few releases. It is celebrated as a wildly intricate, remarkably joyous celebration of artistic resilience and anti-capitalist themes.
