Album Notes & Community Reviews

Funded via a highly successful fan pledge campaign, the Cardiff group's fourth album emphasizes a dry, mechanical production style that highlights the interlocking rhythm section. The arrangements prioritize sharp guitar stabs and Andrew Falkous’ signature biting social commentary, moving away from the synthesizer-heavy foundation of their previous work. It serves as a definitive document of the band's ability to maintain structural tension within a purely instrumental-led rock framework.
