Album Notes & Community Reviews

Landscape's sophomore album marks a definitive pivot from their jazz-funk origins into heavily synthesized, avant-garde pop. Driven by the commercially successful single 'Einstein a Go-Go', the record utilizes the Fairlight CMI and intricate programming to craft a quirky, futuristic soundscape laced with dark humor.
