Album Notes & Community Reviews

The entirely instrumental Finnish quintet delivers an incredibly vibrant, highly rhythmic interpretation of retro-futuristic psychedelia on their fifth album. The record expertly marries the sprawling, synthesized cosmic atmospheres of classic 1970s krautrock with surprisingly complex, math-rock-inflected rhythmic grooves. It functions as a brilliantly executed, high-energy soundtrack for an imaginary vintage science-fiction epic.
