In Prism

Ending a twelve-year hiatus, the Chapel Hill math-rock pioneers return with a remarkably focused and muscular effort. The record retains the band's signature alternate guitar tunings, Eastern-influenced scales, and knotty, labyrinthine song structures while introducing a heavier, more expansive production style. The reunion album proved that the influential underground group had lost none of their technical prowess or idiosyncratic dissonance.
