Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded as part of the influential 'In the Fishtank' studio series in the Netherlands, the album captures the band during a highly productive period of live improvisation. The arrangements prioritize tight group dynamics and the distinctive vocal delivery that addresses themes of social hierarchy and personal transition. It conceptually addresses the search for stability within an increasingly commodified landscape, prioritization melodic continuity and structural variety.
