Album Notes & Community Reviews

The instrumental acoustic-electric trio navigates an astonishingly complex labyrinth of interlocking rhythms and abrupt stylistic left turns on their second full-length release. 'Opportunity Crosses the Bridge' playfully injects country, surf, and heavy rock motifs into highly structured, relentlessly challenging avant-garde math-rock compositions. Known for their absurdly long track titles, the band proves that extreme technical proficiency can coexist with genuine humor.
