Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning after a six-year hiatus prompted by frontwoman Nai Palm's breast cancer diagnosis, the Australian quartet delivered their warmest and most life-affirming record yet. The project retains their signature complex, polyrhythmic jazz-funk structures while incorporating sweeping string arrangements from Brazilian legend Arthur Verocai. It functions as a deeply triumphant, heavily groove-oriented celebration of survival.
