Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing Toby Driver's unpredictable, ever-shifting musical trajectory, the avant-garde ensemble fully embraces 1980s retro-futurism and complex electronic sound design. The album heavily features vintage Roland and Moog synthesizers, burying intricate, progressive rock structures beneath shimmering, densely layered synthwave aesthetics. It is a wildly ambitious, surreal departure that polarized some longtime fans while fascinating critics with its sheer creative audacity.
