Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating as an offshoot of the Chicago post-rock stalwarts Tortoise, the collective dives deeper into heavily synthesized groove structures. 'Who Stole the I Walkman?' leans strongly towards experimental nu jazz and IDM, heavily fragmenting their live instrumental performances through meticulous digital glitch editing. The album represents a fascinating, highly mechanical intersection of Midwestern post-rock and avant-garde electronica.
