Album Notes & Community Reviews

Taking full advantage of their major-label budget, the band engineered their most wildly eclectic and expansive recording to date. The tracks veer unpredictably between crushing sludge riffs, peculiar acoustic interludes, brass sections, and bizarre avant-garde electronics. This unrestrained experimentation further solidified their reputation as the most unpredictable and enduring act of the Pacific Northwest underground.
