Album Notes & Community Reviews

The all-female instrumental trio from Tokyo masterfully distills the frantic energy of noise rock and dance-punk into incredibly tight, repetitive Krautrock grooves. Eschewing synthesizers and electronics, the band uses standard guitar, bass, and drums to construct hypnotic, machine-like loops that build relentless, driving tension. It was highly praised as a brilliant, organic approach to instrumental dance music.
