Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Birmingham ensemble constructs a highly imaginative, retro-futuristic soundscape heavily reliant on vintage analog synthesizers, theremins, and toy instruments. The album floats in a strange, aquatic space between krautrock grooves and 1950s exotica, held together by Rosie Cuckston's ghostly, childlike vocal delivery.
