Album Notes & Community Reviews

The New York indie rock collective, founded by former Cop Shoot Cop bassist Tod A, delivers a cinematic and darkly theatrical sophomore effort. The recording fuses angular post-punk foundations with klezmer and gypsy music traditions, weaving misanthropic narratives of urban decay and criminal enterprise.
