Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed primarily on modular synthesizers during lockdown, the prolific Australian septet's eighteenth studio album pivots away from guitar-driven psychedelia towards bright, looping electronic pop. The record features major-key melodies, complex polyrhythms, and exceptionally optimistic lyricism regarding fatherhood and transformation. It transitions seamlessly between tracks, creating a singular, euphoric listening experience.
