Album Notes & Community Reviews

Mnemonists' 'Horde' emerged from the Colorado collective's interdisciplinary approach to sound, graphics, and experimental production. The album's electroacoustic collage and dense instrumental textures place it between underground tape culture, industrial-adjacent noise, and avant-garde composition.
