The Philadelphia-based quartet delivers a staggeringly complex, bizarrely infectious debut of avant-garde indie rock. The two guitarists heavily utilize MIDI pickups and strange tunings to create bell-like, interlocking riffs that sound more like synthesizers than traditional rock instruments. The vocals float disjointedly over shifting time signatures, offering a brilliantly alien approach to modern math-rock.
