Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Sacramento duo slightly reigns in their overwhelming chaos to deliver a more structured, yet incredibly demanding, math-rock masterclass. Zach Hill's blindingly fast, syncopated drum patterns provide a hyperactive foundation for Spencer Seim's jagged, effects-laden guitar riffs, showcasing their virtuosic instrumental interplay.
