Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning from a substantial six-year hiatus, the veteran German electronic duo deliver one of the most abrasive and hyperactive projects of their career. Highly influenced by the burgeoning wonky and footwork scenes, the tracks feature wildly unpredictable rhythms, aggressive synthesizer manipulation, and pitch-shifted, cartoonish vocal samples. It serves as a fiercely playful, high-velocity reinvention of their deeply established IDM sound.
