Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Swedish progressive rock collective delivers a remarkably eclectic, highly technical sophomore effort. 'Garmonbozia' seamlessly intertwines chaotic, Zeuhl-inspired rhythms and heavy avant-prog dissonance with unexpectedly delicate chamber music interludes. The album's dense, instrumental complexity earned them a strong cult following within the modern Rock in Opposition movement.
