Album Notes & Community Reviews
Evolving further away from their earlier lo-fi electronica, the London-based collective fully embraced a glacial, guitar-driven iteration of dream pop. Featuring heavily reverberating arrangements and mournful bilingual vocals, the album cultivates an atmosphere of profound, late-night sorrow.
