Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut full-length album from the Japanese instrumental trio perfectly combines frantic, highly complex post-hardcore drumming with dual-piano jazz arrangements. Dispensing entirely with guitars, the group relies on incredibly tight, syncopated polyrhythms and classical piano flourishes to create a kinetic, unclassifiable math-rock hybrid. It remains a highly unique, critically acclaimed staple of the international math-rock underground.
