Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their first studio album following the tragic passing of long-time drummer Robert Heaton, the English post-punk veterans deliver an incredibly raw, rhythm-focused record. Incorporating substantial tribal percussion elements alongside their politically charged alternative rock, the album explores themes of environmentalism and social unrest with renewed, organic energy.
