Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Hoppy Kamiyama and heavily championed by Mike Patton, the all-female Japanese trio delivers a delightfully manic, hyperactive set of experimental rock. The album violently shifts between quirky, 80s new wave pop, aggressive noise rock, and completely unhinged, progressive zeuhl-inspired time signatures.
