Album Notes & Community Reviews

Famously utilizing entirely custom-built instruments constructed from salvaged scrap metal and electronics, the Boston avant-garde trio pushes noise rock into wildly surreal, abstract territory. The highly percussive, dissonant rhythms offer a chaotic, anxious tribute to early industrial experimentation.
