Album Notes & Community Reviews

Toby Driver's avant-garde collective plunges entirely into deeply dark and heavily dissonant drone soundscapes, largely abandoning traditional rock structures. Built upon incredibly cryptic free-rhythm compositions and microtonal dissonance, the highly experimental project constructs a profoundly mysterious and atmospheric experience.
