Formed by members of Isis and Halifax Pier, the collective's debut operates as a conceptual instrumental narrative concerning the mass extermination of sparrows during China's Great Leap Forward. The compositions rely on interplay between multiple guitarists, favoring pedal steel textures and expansive, cinematic crescendos over traditional vocal-led structures.
