Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating strictly as a bass-and-drum duo, Tatsuya Yoshida's project unleashed an abrasive, incredibly technical hybrid of avant-garde noise and zeuhl-inspired operatics. The lo-fi recording perfectly captures the sheer physical exertion of their wildly shifting time signatures and violently manic arrangements.
