Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating out of the thriving Richmond, Virginia underground scene, this highly eccentric ensemble delivered a complex masterpiece of avant-prog. The album blends intricate chamber music instrumentation with the manic, jittery energy of zolo and post-punk, cementing their legacy on the independent Rift label.
