Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as what is currently the final album from the legendary Brooklyn indie-rock outfit, the project features some of their most rhythmically complex and synthesizer-heavy arrangements. Following a prolonged hiatus, the band leans into dense, immaculate studio production and sprawling, psychedelic art-pop structures. It acts as a majestic, meticulously crafted send-off to their highly influential run.
