Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their collaboration with producer Will Yip, 'Distant Populations' finds the band delivering a more concise and direct collection of songs. The album examines themes of societal alienation and the breakdown of communication through a tight, punchy, and aggressive sonic lens. It balances the atmospheric qualities of their reunion album with the wiry, riff-centric power of their earlier work, showcasing a potent and focused version of the band's sound.
