Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting away from the relentless, motorik-driven aggression of their earlier output, the Brooklyn experimental stalwarts deliver an ornate, strings-laden detour. The eclectic tracks heavily feature chamber pop arrangements, blending acoustic warmth and bittersweet vocal melodies with their signature off-kilter, psychedelic weirdness.
