Album Notes & Community Reviews

An uncompromising slab of heavy, synthesizer-drenched space rock fused with the abrasive textures of the American noise underground. The Milwaukee-based collective structured the album around sprawling, psychedelic improvisations layered with harsh electronics and relentless guitar distortion. It remains a crucial link between experimental cassette culture and the heavier fringes of neo-psychedelia.
