Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their fascination with retro-futurism, the Birmingham collective employs an array of esoteric instruments including toy pianos, theremins, and obsolete synthesizers on 'The Moving Frontier'. The cinematic arrangements draw heavily from 1960s film soundtracks, evoking a nostalgic yet slightly unsettling atmosphere.
