The Lurid Traversal of Route 7

by Hoover

The only studio album by this Washington D.C. quartet incorporates prominent dub basslines and jagged math-rock angularity into the emotional intensity of mid-90s post-hardcore. Its tense, sprawling compositions heavily subverted the typical Dischord Records sound, highly influencing the development of the heavier, more complex branches of screamo and emo.
