Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran noise-pop eccentrics embrace incredibly lo-fi, blown-out recording techniques to mirror the album's concept of a post-apocalyptic underground society. The resulting record is heavily distorted and fragmented, yet still anchored by Satomi Matsuzaki's uniquely sweet vocals and their signature off-kilter melodic hooks. It functions as a chaotic, cynical, but ultimately playful reflection on humanity's potential downfall.
