Album Notes & Community Reviews

Confronting profound existential dread following the 2016 US presidential election and personal isolation, Tom Krell crafted his most abrasive and experimental record to date. Produced alongside Joel Ford, the project buries Krell's signature R&B falsetto beneath chaotic electronic textures and harsh, post-industrial soundscapes.
