Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third studio album from the Chicago trio introduces strings and brass instrumentation into their driving, instrumental post-metal framework, producing a more expansive, cinematic sound. Bassist Brian Cook heavily anchors the rhythmic weight, allowing guitarist Mike Sullivan to construct massive, looping walls of delay and distortion. The record cemented their position as one of the most vital, emotionally resonant instrumental bands of their era.
