Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating at the heavier end of the post-rock spectrum, the New Zealand trio constructs towering instrumental walls of sound. The compositions balance delicate, delay-soaked guitar arpeggios with crushing, distortion-heavy crescendos akin to post-metal. It is widely considered a pinnacle achievement for the Southern Hemisphere instrumental rock scene.
