Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drawing its title and inspiration from the work of Canadian experimental animator Norman McLaren, the third album by the electronic duo leans heavily into slick, 1980s R&B and boogie influences. The production is incredibly pristine, balancing analog synthesizer basslines with Jeremy Greenspan's breathy, detached vocal melodies. It represents the smoothest, most dancefloor-adjacent entry in their catalog of melancholic synth-pop.
