Album Notes & Community Reviews

A masterful and unique album, 'Unsolved' finds the Boston trio pushing their sound into more patient and jazz-inflected territory. The record is a stunning blend of slowcore's lethargic pace with the technical, improvisational spirit of jazz-rock. It's a mellow, complex, and deeply melancholic work that showcases the band's incredible musicianship and sophisticated compositional style.
