Album Notes & Community Reviews

After a several-year studio hiatus, the group returned with an album that leans heavily into their progressive rock and jazz fusion influences. The arrangements on 'One' feature increasingly complex polyrhythms and sophisticated structural shifts, including a notable fifteen-minute cover of a Miles Davis composition. It documents the group's technical maturation and their ability to bridge the gap between aggressive punk urgency and high-fidelity instrumental virtuosity.
