Album Notes & Community Reviews

This archival recording documents a site-specific performance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, commissioned for the 'Maurizio Cattelan: All' exhibition. The music represents a significant stylistic departure from the group's radio-oriented pop, prioritizing long-form instrumental improvisation and atmospheric space-rock textures. The arrangements utilize modular synthesizers and processed guitars to create an immersive environment that mirrors the exhibition's visual themes.
