Album Notes & Community Reviews

An international collective consisting of members from Switzerland, France, and the US, their second album is a masterclass in highly intricate, instrumental avant-prog. Blending complex chamber music structures with Eastern European folk melodies, the record stands as a widely celebrated, though deeply obscure, highlight of the Rock in Opposition movement.
