Album Notes & Community Reviews
Famed for building their music entirely from absurd, organic field recordings, the Baltimore duo radically restricts themselves to using only vintage analog synthesizers for their seventh studio album. Banning all microphones from the recording sessions, they dive headfirst into bubbly, 1970s 'moogsploitation' aesthetics and intricate arpeggiator patterns. The resultant record is a remarkably warm, joyful, and deeply melodic celebration of pure electronic sound.
