Album Notes & Community Reviews

This entirely instrumental, synthesizer-heavy release perfectly encapsulates the eccentricities of the American Zolo and avant-prog movements. The Detroit-based duo constructed complex, rapidly shifting arrangements that draw heavily from the whimsical nature of the Canterbury scene. The quirky, uplifting compositions are highly technical yet undeniably happy and playful.
