Album Notes & Community Reviews

This highly eccentric duo crafted a dark, theatrical blend of avant-prog and gothic art pop driven by accordion, piano, and unpredictable rhythmic shifts. The complex arrangements perfectly support Kira Vollman's dramatic, multi-octave vocal gymnastics and surreal lyricism. The record stands as a uniquely challenging and theatrical piece of the Californian avant-garde.
