Album Notes & Community Reviews

Confronting the sudden loss of their long-time collaborator Steve Albini, the Japanese post-rock pioneers entered his hallowed Electrical Audio studio alongside producer Brad Wood. Deploying a ten-piece orchestra and an eight-piece choir, the monumental tracks turn profound grief into a sweeping movement of sonic gratitude.
