Album Notes & Community Reviews

Defying their legacy as an intensely chaotic noise rock band, the group constructs a dense, relatively restrained, and highly orchestrated art rock album centered around the theme of love. Eugene Robinson's vocals remain theatrical and commanding, hovering above sweeping strings, choir sections, and brooding, muscular guitar work.

Genres

Descriptors: Avant Garde, atmospheric, experimental, confrontational, theatrical
