Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving unfortunately as the final studio effort from the beloved Manchester quintet, the project oscillates wildly between delicate, delay-soaked post-rock and crushing, metallic aggression. The album encapsulates the band's distinctive mastery of complex time signatures and soaring, emotional crescendos, leaving an enduring legacy within the modern progressive rock underground.
